    Hays County Food Bank

    The Hays County Food Bank is a non-profit organization that provides food to those in need in Hays…read moreCounty and surrounding communities that are served by the San Marcos Consolidated ISD and Hays Consolidated ISD. I'm writing this review not as a Food Bank patron, but as a donor. Everyone hears about the food drives at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and gives a can or two of food here and there, or gives $1 or $5 at the checkout stand, but most don't realize the desperate plight of the food banks. It's easy to appreciate the services the food banks provide to the unemployed, the elderly, and the disabled. But, what most don't realize is that there is a new parasitic drain on the food banks that's gnawing away at their resources. Without turning this into a social commentary or political rant, let's just say it's all about the low-cost retail sector. Corporate employers that refuse to pay a living wage actually provide new employees the address of the food bank and how to apply for assistance as though it were one of their company's employment benefits. The net effect of this is that food bank resources are being stretched incredibly thin to compensate for these abuses. What can the Hays County Food Bank do with your contributions? Well, for $20, they can provide a needy Hays County family with a Thanksgiving meal, including a frozen turkey and all the trimmings. Or they can help the Women's Shelter. Or they help stock the Crisis Bread Basket in Wimberley, which recently saw devastating floods. The list goes on and on. Many benefit from this one, simple, unadorned food bank. In Hays County, 24,000 people are defined as "food insecure". Food insecure means one lives in hunger or fears starvation. In plain-speak, it means you don't know where your next meal is coming from. In the San Marcos CISD, 71% of students qualify for school lunch programs. Texas ranks #2 for food insecurity for those under 18 and #4 for those over 50. Charity begins at home. While there are starving children and adults all over the world, let's not forget that they also exist right under our noses in America. Please give to your local food bank, and give generously. No one should have to worry about where their next meal will be coming from. Not at Thanksgiving. Not at Christmas. Not ever.

I've always found people helpful whether they're helping me carry bags in from my car or dropping off informational pamphlets to share. They have lots of drives throughout the year and opportunities to help out so you can find what's best for you, and there's lots of online information about distribution if you know anyone who needs help.

First, it was easy to sign up and register as a group. Secondly, they provided great details through email in preparation of the event regarding the dress code, parking and arrival time. In addition, the coaches were knowledgeable and provided us with an orientation before we began to ensure our safety and gave us guidance on the process. They were also friendly and funny. The event itself was relatively easy and not physically exhaustive. In 2.5 hours, we made a huge difference and sorted over 6K pounds of potatoes. We made a huge difference for the community in a short amount of time. I absolutely plan to return here and volunteer again.

There is plenty of parking and when you come in, you can check in for your shift at the kiosk and it prints out a name tag. The name tags are a nice touch so that everyone can meet the people that they are volunteering with on your shift. They had several volunteer options including in the kitchen area and also in the food distribution warehouse. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They start and close the shift with detailed instructions about each volunteer position so you know what to expect. They also allow you to select a volunteer position that is matching your interest and skill level. On this particular occasion, I helped with moving tables and pallets and reorganizing the warehouse space for the weekend shifts. After completing this task, I was assigned stapling papers together with weekly menu instructions to put in each food basket to provide instructions to the families receiving food assistance. Then I worked at the bag station where I tied bags that were used to hold the produce. There were a variety of volunteer positions to choose from and the shift passed very quickly. The shift lasted for 3 hours and they are respectful of your time to complete the shift timely. There was a nice restroom and break room space for volunteers. Someone had prepared beef sliders for the volunteers and there were also coffee options. The process is clean and sanitary and the emphasize hand washing and wearing gloves. At the end of the shift they tell you how many pounds of food that you provided to families as a result of your shift. In our case it was 9K pounds. Overall a very enjoyable volunteer experience to provide food to families in the central Texas area.
