Get Involved

Turn your generosity into action. 

Financial support gives us the flexibility to respond where resources are needed most, from distributing nutritious food to supporting programs and services throughout our 21-county service area. Whether you give once or make us part of your recurring giving, your support helps keep food and resources moving throughout Central Texas.

Give your time. Be part of what makes the work possible.

Every week, volunteers work alongside our team members across our operations — helping prepare food for distribution, supporting our markets and mobile distributions, working in our kitchen, on our farm, and pitching in wherever they’re needed.

Opportunities are available for individuals and groups, with a variety of activities, schedules and locations to choose from. Whether you volunteer once or return regularly, your time helps make it possible to get more food to our neighbors throughout Central Texas. 

Give in a way that works for you.

There are many ways to support the Central Texas Food Bank, (CTFB). Make a one-time gift, give monthly, celebrate someone important to you, or include CTFB in your long-term financial plans.

However you choose to give, your support helps provide the resources we rely on to get nutritious food to our neighbors and increase food access throughout Central Texas. 

Put your organization to work for a stronger Central Texas.

Businesses and organizations throughout Central Texas have an important role to play in strengthening the communities where their employees, customers and neighbors live and work.

We partner with companies and organizations in many ways — from monetary gifts and employee volunteering to event sponsorships, workplace fundraising and more. We’ll work with you to find an approach that fits your organization and helps increase food access for all Central Texans.  

Gather for a purpose.  

Throughout the year, we host and participate in events that bring our community together. Whether it’s a fundraising event, attending a community gathering, learning more about our work, or simply spend time with people who care about Central Texans, there are plenty of ways to join us.  

Use your voice for good.

Decisions made by elected officials can directly affect how individuals and families access nutritious food. School meal programs, investments in local food systems, and policies that affect household and economic stability all play a role in food access in Central Texas. That makes advocacy an important part of our work.

We work with neighbors, community partners, policymakers and other organizations to share information, elevate community experiences and advance policies that support greater access to nutritious food. 

Put good food to good use. 

Food donations are an important part of our food sourcing initiatives. Individuals, community groups, retailers, manufacturers, distributors, farmers and others can help ensure nutritious food is available to neighbors throughout Central Texas. 

There are many ways to donate, and the best option depends on what you have to give, and how much of it you have. 

See the work up close.

There’s a lot happening behind the scenes to help food and resources reach communities throughout Central Texas.

Tours give community groups, organizations and supporters a firsthand look at how we operate and how the many pieces come together to increase food access throughout Central Texas.
