| Playing in a golf tournament, listening to live reggae music or enjoying hundreds of hot sauces are but a few of the creative ways our community helps nourish the hungry in Central Texas. From January through September of 2008, 320 Community Events enabled the Food Bank to provide more than 3,553,433 meals* to hungry Central Texans. We are grateful for the community's support in coordinating hundreds of Food & Fund Drives, Sponsored Events, and Cause Related Marketing Campaigns on our behalf. |
