Keep Austin Fed

1 in 7 people in Austin do not know where their next meal is coming from. 1 in 3 of them are children. Over 30% of food in the U.S. goes uneaten, mostly going to landfills where it generates environmentally harmful methane gas. Keep Austin Fed is a champion for our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. We serve our community through the redistribution of wholesome, nutritious food.
