I'm honored to be able to help contribute and feed those experiencing food insecurity in Austin, Texas.

I made a donation today to the Hope Food Pantry Austin. The pantry gives hope to families in the community by providing free groceries to those struggling to make ends meet.

The food insecurity rate in Travis County is 17.1%, compared to 15.4% nationwide. For children, it’s 24% in Travis County, compared to a national child food insecurity rate of 20.9% (Source: Feeding America). Covid-19 is just making circumstances worse. In 2022, Hope Food Pantry Austin (Hope) provided groceries to 4602 households experiencing food insecurity. Over 6400 hours of volunteer time was devoted to delivering, sorting, stocking, preparing and distributing approximately 207,090 pounds — an equivalent of 172,575 meals — of produce and non-perishable grocery items.
Hope Food Pantry Austin let us know today that Generation SERVE families donated 62 POUNDS of food to Hope's Call to Action Food Drive - Ice Cream Social.

Hope Food Pantry Austin said, "Generation Serve families helped make the event a success! In addition, one family volunteered and helped greet our donors! Thank you for inviting your fabulous group to Hope's event. The groceries will help families of all shapes and sizes through difficult times. It will help alleviate hunger through Hope's grocery store model that offers the dignity of choice and gives hope to those who are experiencing food insecurity in our community." HEART PAT!!! 💙

One of the Hope shoppers said:

"There's a reason why this place is called Hope Food Pantry. It's not just because of the wholesome, good-quality - and sometimes even organic! - food the Pantry provides. It's the kindness. When you're struggling to pay your bills and can't make ends meet on unemployment, it's a huge relief to be around non-judgmental people who offer you smiles and nice things you can't buy for your refrigerator/kitchen cupboard anymore. THANK YOU!!"

Generation SERVE families, this is just a reminder of your impact and we are so proud of all that you do for our community. THANK YOU!

Construction projects were not the only type of mission work our members were involved in this year. The people of Northwest Hills UMC worked to feed people both locally and globally by donating food to organizations like Hope Food Pantry Austin, Texas Wesley, and serving at places like University United Methodist Church's Open Door ministry. In your faithfulness, y'all raised over $9,000 and packaged over 27,000 meals for people experiencing hunger globally at our Rise Against Hunger event! Some of our members even served people fried chicken during an Austin FC match to help raise money for Justice for Our Neighbors - Austin Region.
