Central Texas Food Bank and City of Kyle host Mass Food Distributions

KYLE, TEXAS – The Central Texas Food Bank in partnership with the City of Kyle and Texas Disposal Systems will be hosting Mass Food Distributions on Saturday, April 24 and Saturday, May 22 from 9 a.m.- 12 p.m. as well as on Saturday, June 26 from 8 – 11 a.m. at the Austin Community College Hays Campus, 1200 Kohlers Crossing.

Central Texas residents facing food insecurity can drive to these events to receive a box of assorted produce, milk, and a protein box. Actual contents may vary depending on availability. All are welcome and no registration is required.

In response to the public health crisis, Central Texas Food Bank distributions have been converted to a drive-thru model and volunteers place food into each vehicle’s trunk. The food bank is asking that each household only send one person to the event, and that all attendees come in vehicles — there will be no walk-up distribution — to adhere to social distancing requirements.

From May 2020 through March of 2021, citywide Mass Food Distributions have provided food for 10,780 households, with a total of 46,937 individuals served.

“We’re all working hard to push through the rest of this pandemic and many of us have needed a little extra help,” Councilmember Robert Rizo said. “But we are incredibly thankful to the Central Texas Food Bank for continuously providing that extra help to our community with these food distributions.”
