The Food Bank of the Golden Crescent, located in Victoria, Texas, has been dedicated to "helping heal the hurt of hunger" in an eleven-county service area since 1986. As a central clearinghouse, they solicit, collect, and store surplus food, distributing it to over 100 partner agencies like food pantries and shelters. Their programs include the Kids' Weekend Meals, providing nutritious food for children; mobile food pantries, reaching underserved rural communities; Senior Food Box (CSFP), offering monthly food packages to low-income seniors; and TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program), distributing USDA commodities. Beyond food distribution, they offer nutrition education and social service assistance, helping individuals access benefits like SNAP. In 2024 alone, they distributed over 8.1 million pounds of food, providing over 6.7 million meals, demonstrating their significant impact on food insecurity in the Golden Crescent region.
