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 neighbors experiencing hunger.
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. The Food Bank's collaboration with community partners to distribute food, with an emphasis on fresh produce, allows for an extended reach to support the health and well-being of neighbors across 12 counties.
Out of 198 Feeding America Food Banks nationwide, the Food Bank's 12-county service area has the 15th highest hunger rate.
41,750 neighbors are experiencing hunger in the 12-county area.
Only 5 of the 12 rural counties served have traditional supermarkets, limiting access to fresh produce and proteins. As the distributor for community partners in those rural areas, the Food Bank provides routine access to fresh foods that local retailers cannot sufficiently provide.
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.
We’ve had too many patients that have to make a choice between buying food or buying medications.
The current facility only serves an estimated 28,000 neighbors, leaving 14,000 underserved. Current limitations include:
The need has outgrown our current space.
The new James N. McCoy Foundation Distribution and Education Center will be transformative.
The new facility will be at the corner of Hammon Rd. and Production Blvd., with a total budget of $18.6M. Between a multi-year grant and cash reserves, the Food Bank has invested $1.6M in this project, resulting in a $17M campaign.
