Welcome

Hunger is a major issue no matter the part of the world you are in.  Even in Central Texas, hunger is faced by the young and the old everyday.  In Texas, 13% of Texas households--1 in 8 Texans-- 1.4 million Texas households-- nearly 4 million people---face food insecurity in some way or another every day.  Texas is one of just 9 states with higher food insecurity than the natiional average.

 

As a District, we want to do our part to help fight Hunger and we have allocated $10,000 to support such an effort.  We have developed a partnership with the Central Texas Food Bank to help provide food to the needy areas of our District.  All we are askiing of our Rotarians is to step up and work in their local food banks as well as do their own food drives to support the food bank.   Below are the specific food banks and communities that our allocation will go to......but all in all whether your community is receiving an allocation or not, our support of the CTFB trickles down to every community.
