Looking For Food, Water In Greater Houston And Galveston? Here’s A List (Friday, Feb. 19) - Houston Public Media

A volunteer loads donated water into the trunk of a car at a distribution site, Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021, in Houston. Houston and several surrounding cities are under a boil water notice as many residents are still without running water in their homes.

This list is now out of date. For an updated list for Saturday, click here.

Most of Houston has its power back as of Friday morning. But many Houstonians are still struggling without electricity, while water pressure remains low for people throughout most of the city, and still others deal with burst pipes.
