Monetary Donations
While food donations are always welcome, in most cases monetary donations can do so much more. Through our partnership with the Central Texas Food Bank, we are able to purchase food at a significant discount.
Hard To Find Items
Despite our partnership, some desirable food items are seldom available, including:
- Jelly
- Crackers
- Cereal
- Soups
Your donations of food items such as these are greatly appreciated!
