Bread For All Food Pantry
Since September 2013, Bread For All volunteers have served our neighbors in southeast Austin on a weekly basis. Our food pantry provides the supplemental nutrition needed for a healthier diet.
While we’re happy to serve, it’s disconcerting that food insecurity in Austin has grown exponentially since the Coved pandemic. We now serve 3-4 times as many households as we used to.
We serve upwards of 600 unique households every month, the equivalent of 2,500 people. Typically, neighbors will receive 40-65 pounds of food, roughly the equivalent of $75 to $125. This affords them the ability to have better nutrition while more easily paying for other necessities like rent, utility bills and other monthly expenses.
This type of distribution – saving recipients an average of $100 – is incredibly impactful for low-income individuals and families!
