TEXAS – Today, the Texas Attorney General’s Office announced that, as part of a settlement with Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., the egg supplier will donate 2,160,000 eggs to food banks across Texas.
Feeding Texas, the state association of food banks, issues the following statement from CEO Celia Cole:
“Eggs provide essential, high-quality protein that supports good health, and they remain one of the most requested staples across our network of food banks. Families need healthy protein to stay nourished, yet it is often one of the hardest items for food banks to keep in stock due to high demand. We are grateful for this donation of over two million eggs that will help nourish millions of Texans facing hunger in communities across the state.
“Food banks continue to see longer lines and increased demand for emergency food assistance as Texans work to stretch their food dollars. Access to nutritious foods like eggs can ease this burden by helping families put balanced meals on the table while also providing stability and relief during difficult times.
“Texans who need support can find their local food bank at www.feedingtexas.org/food-banks/.”
### Feeding Texas is a network of 20 food banks and leads a unified effort for a hunger-free Texas. Learn more and find your local food bank at www.feedingtexas.org.
