Southeast Texas Food Bank

Southeast Texas Food Bank has been leading the fight against hunger in Southeast Texas for decades. Our organization partners with over 130 nonprofit agencies and schools to combat chronic hunger through innovative programs like the Backpack Program, Mobile Pantry, and Senior Food Box initiatives. With a focus on nutrition education and community empowerment, we serve eight counties including Jefferson, Orange, and Hardin. Our team leverages strategic partnerships with retail stores to rescue approximately one million pounds of nutritious food annually, ensuring resources reach those in need. We maintain strict food safety protocols and operate a comprehensive distribution network using refrigerated transportation. Our Social Services Enrollment program helps qualifying individuals access SNAP benefits, while the School Tools initiative provides essential supplies to low-income students.

Through transparent operations and community collaboration, we've become a trusted resource for families facing food insecurity. Our volunteer-driven model engages thousands of community members annually, creating sustainable impact through direct service and education. With a proven track record of efficient resource allocation, we maximize every donation to provide up to 30 meals per $10 contribution. Our leadership team brings decades of experience in nonprofit management and hunger relief, maintaining strong relationships with both local partners and national organizations like Feeding America.
