I have volunteered in their sorting room and packaging area, both are a lot of fun and, full disclosure, can be hard work - but it is so rewarding! Large parking lot on site. You are not allowed to bring anything in to the volunteer areas with you, so they have lockers to use for free during your shift.

The work that they do for the community is just it's they're just great people. They go above and beyond to help especially the homeless and anybody in need it's just I mean I get overwhelmed with emotion just thinking about how much I appreciate what they did for me. If you ever need any help I would definitely call them and get the help that you need because they will do everything they can to help you. I promise you they're true Christians and they follow the teachings of Jesus. There's nothing fake about anybody up and they make you feel welcome they make you feel like you're seen heard and cared about. They go out of their way to make sure that you know that there are people out there that you care about you and you're going through something in life.

My mother and I have frequently experienced rude and unprofessional treatment by volunteers at this…read morelocation. I previously filed an internal complaint regarding a specific volunteer's conduct named Don. This was my complaint within the location about two months ago: "I am very disappointed with the way this food pantry is being handled by a Volunteer named DON. We have been coming here for a long time, and every single visit is marred by the behavior of a staff member named Don. Don is consistently disrespectful, particularly toward individuals who are not fluent in English. It is heartbreaking to see people in need being treated with such hostility. I have filed formal complaints with management, but absolutely nothing has changed. A place meant to help the community should not tolerate someone who treats that same community with such prejudice and disrespect. You need to look into removing him,I hope the members here see his behavior and do something about it immediately". Since that time, we have been characterized as "difficult" by other staff members. Today, we were informed that our cards have been revoked and we are no longer allowed to receive food at this site. We believe this is direct retaliation for voicing our concerns and constitutes a discriminatory practice. We are asking that the Houston Food Bank investigate this partner agency's conduct and their process for revoking service to families in need especially a pregnant mother in need. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, regardless of their circumstances.

Where I work at, we usually have an Annual Food Drive for the East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry,…read morehowever, due to the pandemic we had to stop, temporarily. I have always enjoyed taking donations to this organization. I see it like "neighbors helping neighbors." Everyone is always looking forward to this Annual Food Drive, hopefully, we are able to do the drive this year. The East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry, Inc. is one of my favorite places to donate and even shop. Everyone that works or volunteers here is super nice and extremely helpful. Every time I have been here, everyone is always smiling, and they are very happy to be able to help the community. The East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry helps families in the surrounding areas fight hunger, help with finances (especially in these tough times), and their basic human needs. Another thing that this organization does is the 5k run, which all the proceeds go to them to help families. You can have fun, network, and -bonus-Help families. They also let high school students volunteer either at the pantry or the warehouse. I believe this helps teenagers to be more caring and see the reality of what is happening around them, not everyone is so lucky to have food on their table every night. If that's not all, they were able to assist families of Fort Bend County during the pandemic. They helped with food, finances to pay for their monthly bills, and other things. They were able to be open all throughout the pandemic just to help families with was going on right now. If you feel happy to donate some perishables, just treat yourself and purchase something neat at their re-sale shop, which is actually steps away from the pantry. You can find all kinds of things in this shop -from antiques to newer things. You can also purchase unique gifts that you will not find anywhere else. You're not shopping just to shop; this money will also be helping families around the area. This is one of the places that we should be shopping at, instead of bigger stores. These types of places help families in need, schools, kids, etc. Sometimes we are too focused of what new things are going to be on store shelves to be the "cool" kid, but we forget that there are so many families that have lost everything. If you want to donate money, food, clothes, just anything, this is the place to donate. You can even volunteer to help at the pantry or warehouse. I always believe that when you help others, others will help you. From donating to shopping, you will be donating to help others in the community at this place. Another thing that will make you happy, you will see that someone is always smiling when you are there, either donating or shopping at the resale shop. Just visit this place, I promise you will be super happy to donate.
