We are non-profit that gives away free healthy food to those in need while preventing food from going to landfills

Food Haven

We accomplish two things through Food Haven. One is reducing food waste by stocking the pantry with excess food from restaurants, local grocery stores, and farms. The other is providing healthier food options, regardless of race and status.

Our Partners

The WOW Project’s programs would not be possible without the support and financial backing of the following organizations

Gather Grow Give

A community-oriented initiative fostering a collaborative spirit, where local members come together to cultivate fresh produce for the benefit of the community. This program not only nurtures the growth of wholesome food but also cultivates a sense of shared responsibility, emphasizing the joy of giving back to the community through sustainable and locally sourced resources

Upcoming events.

Join us for a series of exciting and impactful events at The WOW Project! Our mission to rescue food and support our community continues to grow, and we want you to be a part of it. Whether you're looking to volunteer, learn more about sustainable living, or simply support a great cause, we have something for everyone.

Houston Healthiest Pantry

Here, you'll always find a variety of bagged salads (we're not big on iceberg lettuce) and a diverse assortment of fruits and vegetables. Plus, when our garden beds are ready for harvest, we offer fresh veggies directly from our garden! Healthy living isn't just about what you eat—it's also about how you act. In line with our commitment to sustainability, we don’t provide single-use bags. Instead, we encourage everyone to bring their own bags for taking food home. It doesn’t get any healthier or more sustainable than that!
