THANK YOU FOR DONATING!
Your contributions help us alleviate hunger and promote healthy eating for Jeff Davis County residents in need.
In addition to our bimonthly distributions, senior box program, and emergency food assistance, the Food Pantry is the only consistent source of free school lunch in Jeff Davis County. Because our schools have neither cafeterias or federally subsidized lunch programs, our Pack-A-Lunch program serves nearly half of the children enrolled in Jeff Davis County schools. According to the US Census, 42% of Jeff Davis County children ages 5-17 live in poverty. There are currently 118 children enrolled in our PAL program Your monthly donation of $25 will sponsor a child's lunches for one month.
In 2019, the Food Pantry served an average of 135 households a month (373 individuals). The average Food Pantry client is a working family of 3 with an annual income of $15, 737, well below the Federal Poverty Level. We distributed more than 9500 pounds of food each month.
The Food Pantry relies solely on the donations from individuals, corporations, grants from foundations, and our three annual fundraisers. Without the generous support of our community it would not be possible to fulfill our mission.
