When a local family is going through a financial crisis or other obstacles, food is often the first necessity they seek. The Galveston County Food Banks mission is to provide easy access to nutritional food for the economically disadvantaged, underserved populations of Galveston County through a network of participating charitable organizations, schools, and food bank-managed programs focused on serving vulnerable populations. We also provide these individuals and families with resources beyond food, connecting them to other agencies and services that can assist with needs such as child care, job placement, family therapy, healthcare, and other resources that can help get them back on their feet and on the path to recovery and/or self-sufficiency.
