Overview
Mission
Our mission is to feed, clothe and provide essential services to the underserved in west Fort Bend County. In total, 94% of RRHH's total expenses were allocated to its three core services-food, clothing, and essentials, with only 5% allocated to administration and less than 1% to fundraising, placing RRHH in the top tier of nonprofit efficiency. This means 94 cents of every dollar raised was spent directly on serving the community. Despite rising costs and increasing need, RRHH operated with a 2024 budget deficit of only $27,195 (1.2%), supported primarily by grants (14%), in-kind food donations (71%), and monetary contributions from individuals, organizations, and corporations (15%). RRHH's long-standing commitment to compassionate, inclusive, and efficient service is made possible by a deep volunteer base, highly effective staff, and strong community partnerships.
What it reported doing in 2025
Emergency Food Assistance: Rosenberg Richmond Helping Hands operates a comprehensive Emergency Food Assistance Program, which remains the organization's largest and most critical service. In 2025, RRHH distributed approximately 1.2 million pounds of food, serving an average of 1,538 households per month. This represents a 56% increase in households served since 2022 and reflects sustained growth in community demand as well as the organization's ability to expand service delivery. This growth aligns with RRHH's commitment to ensuring that Hunger Stops Here and that No Child Goes to Bed Hungry in our service area. Food distribution represents the majority of RRHH's program activity and accounts for approximately 95% of total program expenses. The organization works in partnership with the Houston Food Bank, local grocers, and community partners, maximizing the use of in-kind food sourcing, which comprised approximately 67% of total revenue in 2025. These partnerships support consistent service delivery while maintaining cost discipline. During the year, the program continued to provide balanced food support, including fresh produce, proteins, and staple goods. Supply constraints in protein and dairy required increased direct purchasing, which was managed through ongoing monitoring of cost per household and cost per pound. Services are delivered through structured weekly pantry distributions and targeted community events. The program is supported by a large volunteer base and a lean operational model, ensuring that resources are directed primarily to client services. This program remains the cornerstone of RRHH's mission and a primary driver of its community impact.
