Our Network
The Feeding Texas network is made up of 20 food banks and over 4,000 local partners. Together, our network feeds more than 4 million Texans annually and is the largest hunger-relief network in Texas.
Food Banks
The strength of Feeding Texas comes from the expanse of our 20 member food banks, which serve all 254 Texas counties. Our food banks represent diverse and unique communities across Texas— from small, rural communities to major metropolitan areas, from ranching and farming hubs to technology meccas and industrial border towns.
What is a Food Bank?
A food bank is a regional nonprofit organization that sources, stores, and distributes nutritious food to local food programs in the communities they serve.
Our food banks:
- Source food from a variety of places, including donations from community members, grocery retailers, distributors, manufacturers, and restaurants; and USDA commodities.
- Provide fresh produce and nutritious meals to community members.
- Purchase food when donations are insufficient to meet community needs.
- Provide additional services such as SNAP application assistance, nutrition education, health screenings, food prescriptions, medically tailored meals, and more.
- Operate mobile food pantries to serve rural and geographically isolated areas.
- Connect Texans to resources beyond food (such as medical, housing, and transportation) to support their needs.

Partner Agencies & Food Pantries
Community partners and food pantries often serve as a direct line to food insecure Texans. They receive food from food banks and distribute it to community members. This can include shelf-stable, perishable, and prepared food items. In addition to food, partner agencies and food pantries may provide wrap-around services and supplies.
