These food distributions are primarily designed as drive-through events. However, no one in need of food will be turned away.

Attendees will receive an assortment of food items which will vary, depending on available supplies. Prior to driving through, recipients are requested to make appropriate space in their trunk or hatch.

In addition to these special distributions, Central Texans can also access food through our network of partner pantries and mobile food pantry distributions throughout Central Texas. For the latest information on getting help, go to centraltexasfoodbank.org and click on “Find Food Now”. Once you find the distribution site nearest you, please call them to confirm their hours of operation since things are changing rapidly. You can also call 2-1-1 for the latest information.
