The new building will serve as a front-facing community resource, providing much more than food assistance. It will feature an on-site market where individuals and families can access nutritious food in a welcoming environment. In addition, the facility will include a benefits and emergency services center to help people enroll in federal assistance programs and connect them with other available community resources.

What Else Will The Food Bank Provide?

The Food Bank also announced that it will offer workforce training programs and nutrition education to help families build long-term stability and healthy lifestyles. These additional services are intended to address not only immediate food insecurity but also the underlying challenges that many families face.

Mobile pantry volunteer opportunities throughout the nine northern counties in the Food Bank's 21-county service area remain open for registration. Community members who are interested in volunteering are encouraged to sign up and support the organization's mission of fighting hunger across Central Texas.

Where Is The Food Bank Located?

The new Central Texas Food Bank facility will be located at 1402 Ghoslin Rd in Waco. It is expected to become an important resource for individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. With many people continuing to struggle to put food on the table, this new facility will provide greater access to nutritious meals, essential services, and community support. It represents a significant investment in the well-being of Central Texans and will make a meaningful difference for those who need assistance the most.
