Staying true to our mission of helping those in need in our community, the South Texas Food Bank provides a supplemental food bag to individuals seeking emergency assistance. Subsequently, these individuals are directed to one of our 60+ member agencies spread across our service area encompassing eight counties, where they can access food support at least once per month.

​

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) of the South Texas Food Bank, comprising a network of over 80 agencies, is dedicated to assisting individuals and families in need. This initiative distributes surplus commodities from the USDA and TDA, in addition to financial support from entities such as the City of Laredo Third Party Funding. While designed to supplement the nutritional needs of eligible recipients, it may not fully address all hunger needs or dietary necessities.​
