Want to volunteer or give? In the Food Bank’s 13-county service area, approximately 55,000 people live in poverty, miss meals, or experience extreme hunger. The Food Bank of West Central Texas's mission is to help feed low-income, working families; impoverished senior citizens; and thousands of food-insecure children who often go to bed hungry each night. With our Food Assistance Program and the help of our partnering community agencies, mobile pantries, and pop-up pantries. We are able to move perishable and non-perishable food items quickly to families and individuals throughout the West Central Texas area. Backpacks for Kids program we provide, child-friendly, nutritious foods for chronically hungry children over the weekend at no cost to the child or the family. We work through our local school system, often in conjunction with concerned citizens, churches & civic groups to provide financial and volunteer support to make Backpacks for Kids a successful endeavor. Our Senior pantry provides seniors with assistance to additional pantry items to keep their pantries full.
