Coastal Bend Food Bank

About Us

The Coastal Bend Food Bank is a non-profit organization dedicated to alleviating hunger and food insecurity in the Coastal Bend region of Texas. As a part of the Feeding America network, the food bank serves as a crucial link between food producers, donors, and local communities in need. Its primary mission is to collect, warehouse, and distribute food to individuals and families facing hunger, while also working towards long-term solutions to address the root causes of food insecurity.

The Coastal Bend Food Bank collaborates with a network of partner agencies, including food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters, to ensure that food reaches those who need it the most. Through these partnerships, the organization strives to create a coordinated and efficient system to distribute food resources across the region.

In addition to emergency food assistance, the food bank is actively involved in various community programs and initiatives that focus on education, nutrition, and empowering individuals and families to break the cycle of hunger. These efforts often include outreach programs, nutrition education, and partnerships with local schools and community organizations.

Volunteers play a crucial role in the success of the Coastal Bend Food Bank, assisting with tasks such as sorting and packaging food, organizing events, and supporting outreach efforts. The organization also relies on donations from individuals, businesses, and government sources to sustain its operations and expand its impact in the fight against hunger.
