Citywide Formula Drive

For 38 years, L.I.F.E. Houston has stood as a trusted lifeline for families facing infant hunger. But a lifeline only holds strength because people like you keep it full. As Texas' only infant formula bank, our pantry exists solely through formula gathered by our community, and this September, we're asking you to help us stock it once again.
The earliest months of life are foundational to a child's growth and development. When a family cannot afford formula, which can cost $30–50 a can, the consequences can be immediate and far-reaching. Every can on our shelves represents a bottle a baby doesn't go without. In 2025 alone, our community walked alongside 8,133 families, placing 16,266 cans of formula into the hands of babies who needed it most.
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and reach their fullest potential. That belief becomes reality the moment a can lands in our pantry, because a full shelf starts with you.
This Infant Hunger Action Month, we're calling on Houston's businesses, healthcare organizations, schools, faith communities, nonprofits, and residents to ensure that infants facing food insecurity have access to the nutrition they deserve. Sign up to host a formula drive: set up a collection bin, rally your team or customers, and transform your workplace into a lifeline for babies.
One can. One shelf. One baby fed. This September, our pantry gets stocked because of you.
Sign up today to secure your spot as a Participating Organization and help stock the pantry for Houston's babies.
