Every Thursday, Laura Duvall and Tim McBride load up their truck with essential food items, making the 30-mile journey from their ranch in Fischer, Texas, to Texas State University.
Their destination is Bobcat Bounty, the on-campus, student-run food pantry where they’ve become familiar faces among the volunteers and staff. Their weekly donations have become a vital part of the pantry’s operations, but this gesture holds a deeply personal meaning for Laura and Tim.
This commitment is their way of honoring their late daughter, Caitlin Louise Duvall-Hammer, a former Texas State student with a lifelong passion for food and its power to unite people.
