The holiday season is in full swing, reminding many of us the importance of giving back. In the spirit of giving, the Central Texas Food Bank is asking our community to join in helping make the holidays a little brighter for families facing hunger.
With the rising cost of inflation, the holidays can be difficult for families facing hunger. Thankfully, giving back can be easy. Here are the top five ways:
1. Gift a Donation in Honor of Your Loved One
Not sure what to give to that person in your life who has it all? Share your generosity with them by making a holiday gift in their honor. Thanks to the generosity of our community partners, the Beaumont Foundation and Methodist Healthcare Ministries, your gift is matched up to $400,000 when you give now through the end of the year.

2. Order Holiday Cards
Look no further for those perfect Holiday Cards to send to family and friends this year! When you order Central Texas Food Bank Holiday Cards, your donation helps us get one step closer to ending hunger in our community. Share your commitment to the Food Bank’s mission with your loved ones when you send them a festive card this month. Ready to make your order? Click here.

5. Shop Local, Give Local
Next time you stop by your local Whole Foods Market for those holiday groceries, help put another holiday meal on the table by rounding up at the register. All proceeds from the Shop Local, Give Local campaign benefit local food banks, like the Central Texas Food Bank, through Feeding America. Click here to learn more.
In this season of giving, every action, no matter how small, helps make Central Texas a better place to call home. Thank you for helping ensure all our neighbors enjoy a happy, healthy holiday season.
