About Us |
 |
Responding to the need for emergency formula assistance, Local Infant Formula for Emergencies, known as LIFE/Houston started our "Food For Hungry Babies," program in 1988. LIFE/Houston is the only local non-profit agency in the Greater Houston metropolitan area exclusively targeting infant hunger.
Our Vision
To meet the nutritional needs of hungry babies in the Greater Houston area.
Our Mission
To provide emergency formula and food for hungry babies and information about proper infant nutrition.
LIFE/Houston's Food for Hungry Babies program is a free, short-term food assistance program that provides formula and baby food for infants in our community who are at-risk for undernourishment and/or malnutrition.
We play a leading role for families of at-risk infants during times of family stress and anxiety from unemployment, illness, abandonment or simply running out of grocery money before payday. Families receive a 7-day supply of formula and may access our service up to 6 times before the child reaches their first birthday. Thanks to the generosity of so many, we are also able to provide other items such as diapers, baby food, and clothing when available.
Our services are provided free of charge and we currently have 5 centrally located sites.
