Strengthening Communities to Fight Hunger with Food, Education, and Advocacy
Nourishing Lives. Building Tomorrow.​
For over 40 years, the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank has been dedicated to addressing hunger across North Texas and remains a responsible steward of donated funds and community trust. Looking into the future, the Food Bank is prepared for a new facility and is launching a capital campaign to increase capacity to better serve the needs of our neighbors. This new Distribution and Education Center will approximately triple the storage capacity with the ability to provide on-site educational programs, teaching individuals skills to make health-promoting and budget-friendly meals. Our collaboration with community partners to distribute food, with an emphasis on fresh produce, allows us to extend our reach to support the health and well-being of our neighbors across 12 counties.

Out of 198 Feeding America Food Banks nationwide, our 12-county service area has the 15th highest hunger rate.
-
41,750 neighbors are experiencing hunger in our 12-county area.
-
12,930 children
-
28,820 adults and seniors
-
Only 5 of our 12 rural counties served have traditional supermarkets, limiting access to fresh produce and proteins. As the distributor for our community partners in those rural areas, our organization provides routine access to fresh foods that local retailers cannot sufficiently provide.​​​​​​​
The Need

Enhancing health outcomes by utilizing food as medicine is crucial. Access to nutritious, fresh food promotes personal well-being so that individuals have the opportunity to lead healthier lives, contributing to a thriving community.
