Hunger doesn't take a summer break, but neither does the Central Texas Food Bank. We had a blast kicking off our Summer Meals program yesterday at the Boys and Girls Club of the Austin Area's Home Club! In partnership with the Texas Department of Agriculture, our Summer Meals Program keeps kids fueled up for all-day fun! This program provides nutritious meals to children, including those attending BGCAA's summer camp. Donate today: https://bit.ly/4egUyTH

Heartened by Austin Annual's recognition of CTFB's ongoing commitment to providing nutritious meals at the Marshalling Yard Emergency Shelter! This feature in the 2024 City of Austin in Review highlights the power of collaboration to offer holistic care and nourishment that empowers our neighbors. As David Gray, Austin's Homeless Strategy Officer, said, this partnership is a beacon of hope for Marshalling Yard, fostering not just sustenance but long-term well-being. At CTFB, we believe access to healthy food is the fuel for a brighter future. Together with partners like Austin's HSO, we're building a more nourished Austin where all our neighbors can thrive!
