Since 1984, Hays County Food Bank has worked to alleviate hunger in our community. Our vision is to create a well nourished community.
Food for Today, Hope for Tomorrow.

Food insecurity is defined by the United States Department of Agriculture as the lack of access, at times, to enough food for an active, healthy life.
