BRAZOS VALLEY FOOD BANK AND KBTX-TV TO HOLD FOOD DRIVE TODAY

  

Brazos Valley Food Bank and American Momentum Bank joined together Tuesday to announce a major capital contribution and to ask the community to continue to help the growing number of hungry families in the area this holiday season and beyond.

As a result, supporting the KBTX-TV Food for Families Food Drive today is impactful in providing immediate support for the Brazos Valley Food Bank and its constituents of grateful families. For more information on the KBTX food drive go to their website at http://www.kbtx.com/kbtxcares/foodforfamilies.

Hollye Hatfield  from our sister station KTTX 106 was there at The Food For Families Food Drive at the Brazos Center. Many local schools and the community came together to donate food to the Brazos Valley Food Bank.

The most critical needs for the Food Bank is more space and more food. The Brazos Valley Food Bank as experienced a nearly 150% increase in demand for food from its hunger relief partners over the past 5 years.

The second critical need is more cold space to capture the freshest food available. The food bank frequently has to turn away donated food due to lack of space and refrigerator and freezer capacity for fresh and frozen foods.

Thirdly, the Food Bank needs more designated volunteer space to maximize output. The Food bank is fortunately to have over 14,000 volunteer hours annually. To maximize the Brazos Valley’s commitment to service, the new design can accommodate up to four volunteer groups at any given time.
