How your support impacts the mission
The South Texas Food Bank, with your help, will continue to be there for our communities in their time of need. In this very critical time of food shortages and inflation, your Empty Bowls sponsorship is more crucial than ever before.
All proceeds from this event will allow us to continue our mission of fighting hunger in Webb, Zapata, Jim Hogg, Val Verde, Maverick, Dimmit, Kinney and Starr counties. Your donation will help cover food acquisition and operational costs that include food purchases and freight costs.
We hope you that you will be part of this important fundraiser and continue to be a part of the fight against hunger in our South Texas area.
