Food Assistance

At Cy-Hope, we are committed to fighting food insecurity in our community by providing reliable access to nutritious food for children and families in need. Through partnerships and dedicated programs, we offer weekend food support for students, a discreet food locker with fresh and frozen options, and mobile food distributions open to the public. Whether it's supplementing meals for students, offering flexible food pick-up options, or distributing pantry staples and fresh items, our goal is to ensure no one in our community goes hungry.

  • Backpack Buddies

    In partnership with the Houston Food Bank, Backpack Buddies works with Cy-Fair and Waller ISD to identify students in need, sending them home with food in a discreet backpack each week to sustain them over the weekends.

  • Jersey Village Food Locker

    Our Jersey Village Food Locker provides fresh and frozen foods to families in need, offering a convenient and dignified way to access nutritious food. Families can custom order from available items and pick them up at their convenience in a discrete location.

  • Mobile Food Distributions

    Our mobile food distributions help provide nutritious food to the community, including fresh items and pantry staples. These events are open to the public and held at Cy-Hope. Stay up to date on upcoming distributions here!
