Event Request

Our staff at Hays County Food Bank appreciate the importance of supporting our community by attending events and championing the cause of ending hunger. We do our best to attend as many events as possible, but our schedule does not allow for attendance at every request. Advance notice of five weeks or more gives us the best chance of availability. If you would like to invite one of our staff to table at your event or speak to your group, click on the link below to request one of our staff attend your event.

Food Donations & Drives

Food donations and drives help keep our shelves stocked with nutritious food so that we can continue to feed our neighbors in Hays County. Hunger knows no season; help keep people fed all year long. 

If you are hosting a food drive please register your food drive so we know about it! It helps us know when to expect your drive to be delivered so we have volunteers and space available to receive your donation.

Share your food drive on social media! Tag us @haysfoodbank and we will try to help promote your efforts. If you would like help promoting your event, please do not hesitate to ask! Contact our Development Manager at donation@haysfoodbank.org

Food Donations

Food donations may be dropped off at HCFB. Items can be left inside the green bench on our front porch. You may also drop off food at the bins inside HEB Plus in Kyle, HEB Buda and the HEB on East Hopkins in San Marcos.

Can you pick up my food drive donation?

If your food donation is over 750 pounds (a pickup truck full), we have limited availability for food drive pick-ups, based on driver and van availability. If you are eligible to have your food drive picked up, please email donations@haysfoodbank.org
