Volunteers prepare a pallet of "weekly meal packs," boxes containing five complete meals and beverages that EHH provides for shut-ins and other Houstonians in need of food.
Naomi Brown (center) and Raye Fischel (right) crack jokes as they load up boxes in the EHH warehouse. Brown and Fischel are employees of local oil company Apache Corporation and volunteer at EHH once a month with some of their coworkers.
Erica Thomas, also with Apache Corp, frees frozen chicken breasts to be included in one of the meals the volunteers prepare that day. The Apache volunteers boxed over 1200 meals during their 3-hour shift.
Members of the University of Houston's National Merit Scholars organization participate in their first community service project at EHH.
EHH uses both prepackaged and fresh foods for their meal programs.
Mark, a resident at Houston's Star of Hope Mission, rests for a minute between meal preparations in EHH's kitchen. Star of Hope is a Christian-based organization that helps and houses some of Houston's homeless men, women, and children. The mission advocates job training and community service for its members.
