HELPING DURING THE HOLIDAYS: Hays County Food Bank giving to families in need

The Hays County Food Bank will help families in need for the 15th consecutive year with their Holiday Meal Boxes. 

Families will have the opportunity to receive meal boxes filled with traditional foods needed to make a home-cooked Thanksgiving meal that will include a frozen turkey, a few fresh produce items and shelf-stable items like stuffing mix, canned green beans, mashed potatoes, canned pumpkin and more.

To qualify for the program, families must have a household income at or below the 185% of the Federal Poverty Level, participate in a qualifying government assistance program (SNAP, Medicaid, National School Lunch Program, etc.) or have a temporary food emergency.
