LIFE Houston, the only infant formula bank in the state, is launching its first-ever citywide formula drive this September to meet soaring demand. Families like the Gomezes, who rely on donated specialty goat milk formula costing up to $45 per can, are counting on this lifeline. The nonprofit, founded in 1988, is partnering with the City of Houston to collect unopened, unexpired formulas—including Enfamil and Similac—and welcomes all families, regardless of WIC status. With Texas leading the nation in child food insecurity, this drive aims to ensure no baby goes hungry this season.
