CBS Austin and Randalls' Food for Families

CBS Austin and Randalls are partnering to help fight summer hunger with their annual Food for Families Food Drive. The food drive comes at a time when the need for food assistance is higher, since kids no longer have access to free or reduced-price lunches. Additionally, higher utility bills force families to make tough budget choices, with food often being sacrificed.

 You can help fight summer hunger when you visit your local Randalls from June 12 to June 23. It’s easy to participate:

• Customers can add a $5 pre-packaged bag of nutritious food to their basket and drop in it the donation barrel after checkout.
• You can also donate $1, $3 or $5 at checkout when prompter on the pin pad. Every dollar counts. Due to our efficiency, we can stretch $1 to provide four meals.
• Keep an eye out for the donation barrels at Randalls to donate other healthy, non-perishable food items. Our most requested items include peanut butter, canned protein, canned low sodium vegetables, dry pinto beans, brown rice, non-fat dry milk powder and whole grain cereal.

Last year, Food for Families helped provide nearly 90,000 nutritious meals for Central Texas families.
