Covid-19 Relief Efforts

Emergency food distributions

In March 2020, the South Texas Food Bank launched COVID-19 relief efforts in response to a state-wide emergency declaration in Texas. 

Our efforts include regular COVID-19 Emergency Food Distributions across our eight-county service area, including weekly distributions at our food bank, located on 2121 Jefferson Street in Laredo, TX 78040 and daily "pop-up" distributions throughout the community. All distributions are currently drive-thru for the protection of our clients, staff, and volunteers. Read our distribution guidelines here.
