About
In 2011, a representative from the East Texas Food Bank reached out to TCC to voice their concern that our community was being under-served in their vision of a hunger-free East Texas. Though there were many small faith based pantries in our community, individually they lacked the scale to address the enormity of the issue. 1 in 4 children and 1 in 5 adults in East Texas are food insecure. (source- ETFB) We knew we had to help!
Within days, TCC had contacted representatives of the various faith and community based efforts and found that through collaboration a seven-fold increase in the number of food insecure families in our community could be served. Today, the Alto Food Pantry continues to thrive, serving over 100 households in our community every month.
