Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'” To honor King’s life and work and in recognition of MLK Day, Houston Food Bank is welcoming individual and corporate volunteers on Monday, January 15, 2018, which is MLK Day.

More than 150 volunteers from Shell Oil Company will work on MLK Day, doing various projects from 8 a.m. to noon. For more than 20 years, Shell has sponsored MLK National Day of Service activities across the nation.

Shell will also be joined at the Food Bank by volunteers from Astros Foundation, Cargill, Jack and Jill of America, Johnson Controls, Retirement Advisor Council, Sterling Aviation High School and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. See volunteer schedule below.

Activity includes sorting donated product in the Carousel Room.
