Nourishing hungry people and leading the fight against hunger
"A long-established regional food bank that serves as a reliable resource year-round, consistently providing food assistance and playing a central role in crisis response for the Austin area." - Erin Russell
"A major regional food-bank partner whose operations were described as essential during the pandemic; support from the restaurant’s giving program helped the organization serve many food-insecure Central Texans (more than 300,000 reported food insecurity during the crisis) and provided the practical and emotional relief families felt when they could put food on the table, especially over the holidays." - Nina Hernandez
"A regional food bank organizing a mass distribution and actively requesting monetary donations and volunteers to support large-scale food disbursement during the crisis." - Erin Russell
"The largest hunger-relief charity serving 21 counties in the Central Texas region, this organization collects, stores, and redistributes millions of pounds of food to community pantries, mobile distributions, and direct food programs; it reported a dramatic surge in first-time clients during the pandemic, distributed over seven million pounds of food in September, and continues to rely on cash donations and registered volunteers to scale its mobile pantries and community kitchen operations." - Sarah Engstrand
"A regional hunger-relief organization that received a $9,999.99 donation this week as part of a resolution between a national beer brand and a local brewery; the contribution was presented as a holiday-season make-good to support the food bank's work." - Erin Russell
