Feed The Friends Initiative is Coming Back Better
Building Up The Community (BUTC) is restructuring its Feed The Friends (FTF) initiative to address the root causes of food insecurity among low-income households in Houston and surrounding areas. Instead of solely providing hot meals, FTF will now offer a comprehensive program that combines grocery assistance with financial literacy and life skills training. The program aims to empower families to become self-sufficient and reduce reliance on food banks and donation centers.
Stocked For Success
We understand how important it is for students to have the supplies they need to start the school year strong. But what happens when they run out and need more? In addition to our annual back to school supply drive, we keep extra supplies on hand to support families throughout the year.
Our annual back to school event is held every August!
If you need supplies please email us info@buildingupthecommunity.org
