Meals
Kosher meals are prepared in-house under supervision by the Houston Kashruth Association. Frozen kosher weekend meals may additionally be provided as funding allows. Each meal provides at least one third of the recommended daily dietary allowance.
Home-delivered meals are offered through the Harris County Area Agency on Aging with funding from the Older Americans Act, the Texas Department of Agriculture Texans Feeding Texans Home-Delivered Meal Grant Program, and the United Way of Greater Houston. Local funding and participant contributions supplement federal and state revenues.
