Staff Reports
The Hays County Food Bank has announced a brand new drive-thru public food distribution in San Marcos. Lower income households and those facing a food emergency are invited to receive a variety of fresh produce, meat, shelf-stable foods, and baked goods upon availability.
The new food distribution site is located at the San Marcos Toyota Rattler Stadium from 10:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. The Hays County Food Bank asks clients to enter at Monterrey Oaks and SH-123.
This distribution, like all current Hays County Food Bank distributions, will be drive-thru. Clients are asked to clean out their trunk or truck beds before arriving to make it easy for the food bank team to easily and quickly load up groceries.
Have a household income at or below the 185% of the Federal Poverty Level,
Participate in a qualifying federal assistance program (ex: SNAP, Social Security, Medicaid) or
Have a temporary food emergency due to loss of income, disaster, etc.
If a household is unable to attend a distribution, they may assign a proxy to pick up on their behalf. The proxy must be listed before picking up food and they will have to show their photo ID for verification purposes. Client just needs to call the food bank ahead of time to assign a proxy if one is not already listed.
If a household has never received food assistance from Hays County Food Bank before, they can either call ahead to answer a few self-reporting questions or they may show up and answer at the distribution. No proof of ID, income, or residency is needed from the client.
The food bank’s full distribution schedule can be found at haysfoodbank.org.

This is a very big blessing for many. As I myself am very blessed and fortunate to not need assistance at this time there is so many people who do not meet your criteria that do have food needs.
Just my humble opinion but don't snap benefits include food? So they would be less likely to such a great need?
This is not a comment to offend anyone by any means. I have love for everyone and I do know a few people who don't meet your criteria, work very hard. Many do have much needs especially with the rise in the economy and inflated prices that do not discriminate.
God bless y'all for your labor of love missions and may God bless everyone,may Your needs be met and may He deliver us all from evil and harm.
