Our hearts go out to the people of Texas after Hurricane Harvey. We know many people across the nation are looking for ways to help.
Since AmpleHarvest.org is a nationwide program, we ask all Americans, particularly those now harvesting from their gardens, to remember that the solution to hunger is in their backyard, and to be generous where they can with their donations.
We’ve contacted the South Texas food pantries in our network, listed below are those who have told us they’re open and accepting donations. If you are able to donate, please contact the pantry directly to confirm hours of operation. We’ll continue to update the list as we hear from more pantries/agencies.

AmpleHarvest.org’s response to catastrophes – natural or otherwise
During natural disasters, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rushes in to provide emergency resources for the community such as food and shelter, but eventually they go home leaving the community to rebuild itself. That takes time, and unless/until the businesses are reopened, many people continue to need the assistance of a food pantry. Because of this, the help offered by local growers to the pantry in the community is vital long after FEMA is gone.
