How a homegrown brand helps strengthen communities and raise awareness during Hunger Action Month, year after year. 

From AmeriCorps intern to Garden Coordinator, Ollie Messina cultivates food, volunteers, and connection at the Central Texas Food Bank.

With visibility, training, and talent, TFNB powers nonprofits year-round, arriving just as CTFB prepares to open a new Waco facility to serve more neighbors across the region.

A partnership rooted in consistency, generosity, and community impact: Apple’s 14-year partnership with the Central Texas Food Bank shows how consistent corporate giving and hands-on volunteerism can transform lives, fuel innovation, and bring communities closer together. 

Thanks to a generous partnership with the Darden Restaurants, Inc. Foundation and Penske during Hunger Action Month, more fresh food will reach neighbors in need across 21 counties. 

With empathy, dedication, and a drive to connect, Stephanie embodies the spirit of volunteerism at the Central Texas Food Bank.
