Rain or shine, nothing stops us! ??? A few weeks ago, the amazing team from Southside Bank rolled up their sleeves at our Heights House PopUp Grocery Store—braving the rain to feed our community! Their dedication and hard work made a huge impact, and we’re so grateful for their support! Thank you, Southside Bank! ????
Through a collaboration between Port Houston, Neighbors in Action and Second Servings of Houston 100 community members received fresh, nutritious food at a recent pop-up grocery store bringing essential resources directly to our neighbors. Both organizations are 2024 Port Houston Community Grants Program grantees, a program dedicated to supporting projects that strengthen communities through economic & workforce development, environmental efforts, and community outreach. By investing in these local organizations, we strive to create a positive change for those who need it most.
Our amazing friends at Second Servings of Houston Servings continue to provide our residents with access to fresh, healthy foods — and we couldn’t be more grateful for their hard work and dedication. ?? Every grocery pop-up brings excitement, as our residents eagerly explore new items they can enjoy now or save for later. Living in permanent supportive housing comes with its challenges, but partners like Second Servings help lighten the load — not just for our team, but for our residents as well. When residents no longer have to worry about where their next meal will come from, they can focus on what truly matters: healing, building meaningful relationships with their neighbors, and working toward brighter futures. Here’s to good food, healthy choices, and a little extra peace of mind — all made possible by our friends at Second Servings! ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? #AffordableHousing #HopeStartsHere #SecondServings #Freshfoods #PermanentSupportiveHousing #houston #affordablehousing #houstonnonproft #endhomelessness #affordablehousingmatters
Teaming up with Neighbors in Action, we successfully completed yet another grocery pop up event. Today, our trucks rescued lots of fresh produce and bread which we were able to redistribute to the people at Port Houston. Day by day, we continue to slowly elimate food waste and tackle down food insecurity. The March calander just opened for March positions for any individuals who would like to join our mission.

For Catholic Schools Week, St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School hosted a cereal drive, collecting tons of donations! A few 3rd graders helped load up a packed van, which was delivered to the Christian Community Service Center to support families in need. Way to go, young changemakers!
Yet another day of giving back to our communities. With Second Servings of Houston, we are slowly eliminating food waste and giving food back to our people.

This week our Forvis Mazars US Foundation team in Houston partnered up with Second Servings of Houston and donated $10,000 to further help their cause of Fighting Hunger & Ending Waste. Second Servings is an incredible organization that focuses on food rescue in Houston. They rescue surplus food from grocery stores, hotels, convention centers, etc. and then deliver the food directly to local charities. They have an outstanding team that we hope to continue to work with in the future to fight hunger and end food waste in Houston.
