Food For Families is a coalition of food pantries across Central Texas who have banded together to
collect non-perishable food in a one-day coordinated drive on the Friday before Thanksgiving. All food
donated stays in the county in which it was collected to serve the people in need in that county. All pantries
participating in Food For Families are members in good standing of "Feeding America, the largest network of food banks and food pantries in the United States. Food For Families is operated by four partner organizations, Longhorn Council of Boy Scouts of America, H.E.B. Grocery Company, Texas Army National
Guard and KWTX Media.

The 2009 Food For Families food drive will be held on November 20th, from 6:00am - 8:00pm. To find a donation site near you check our list of donation sites.
