Resilience 4 Communities
For residents in Trinity Houston Gardens, food banks are a lifeline that keeps their families afloat and offers a chance to break the cycle of poverty.
Major storms and power outages have set families back over recent years, exposing vulnerabilities but also revealing sources of resilience.
Time and time again, the community has come together to support each other, evidencing strong social capital.
Community-led actions tapping into social capital and other sources of resilience are making an impact, helping the neighborhood prepare for the future.
With the Resilience 4 Communities program, residents came together with the city to codesign and shape solutions that meet their needs.
Supported by grassroots organizations and the private sector, these initiatives are strengthening the community.
Target Hunger is extending food pantry hours and distributing food at events across the community so that hundreds more families can grocery shop for free.
Community members can now choose fresh fruits and vegetables closer to home without having to travel long distances.
Talk to a Community Health Worker at your local food pantry or community event to learn more about resources and social services available to you.
Their expertise is available to anyone and supports families experiencing food insecurity and economic hardship.
Once renovated, the new Target Hunger Campus and Education Center will provide a safe space for the community to access food, resources and shelter during extreme weather and other emergency events.
The center will offer workshops, training and volunteering opportunities to encourage community members’ growth and development.
