Stone Soup

The Stone Soup pantry provides food assistance to HIV-positive individuals and their families. The pantry is located at the AFH offices at 6260 Westpark Dr., Suite 100, Houston, TX 77057. It is currently open to provide food assistance to clients and anyone affected by Hurricane Harvey Monday-Friday from 10 AM-4 PM. No ID is required to obtain food from the pantry.

Stone Soup is a designated distribution point for the Houston Food Bank.

Ready-To-Eat Food Drive

Stone Soup is increasingly in need of ready-to-eat foods for the homeless. Because they are homeless, these clients have no means to cook food and rarely have access to basic utensils such as can openers. AFH is serving more homeless persons since it became part of The Way Home, Houston's coordinated access program for housing assistance.

Under the program anyone who is homeless, regardless of HIV status, can come to AFH to apply for housing assistance. If they are HIV-negative, AFH works with other area programs to find them housing. Those who are HIV-positive are placed in an AFH housing program. All who come in to apply are allowed access to the Stone Soup pantry during their visit.

You can help AFH feed the homeless with foods that require no preparation or utensils. Please collect items from the list below and deliver them to our offices at 6260 Westpark Dr., Suite 100, Monday-Friday, 10:00 AM-6:00 PM. All items should have a top that the client can pop open and use without a can opener. Alternatively, you can make a monetary donation to Stone Soup.

For persons living with HIV, access to nutritional foods is of dire importance. Proper nutrition strengthens their bodies’ ability to fight infection and maximizes the effectiveness of anti-retroviral medications.

Stone Soup meets their immediate needs for nutritious food, while improving the health outcomes for persons living with HIV.

Stone Soup is the only food assistance program designed to meet the needs of HIV positive clients in the Houston area.  It is a donation based, volunteer driven program.
