Disaster Preparedness

When disaster strikes, The Capital Area Food Bank is prepared to respond with food assistance and emergency supplies.

The Food Bank provides direct food and water assistance, and works with America's Second Harvest, the Nation's Food Bank Network, to obtain and transport federal and state food supplies to affected areas in 21 Central Texas counties. In times of national disaster, CAFB is a collection point for local donations to be shipped to the disaster site.

Whether the emergencies are on an individual level such as the loss of a job, or for larger disasters as seen with Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, CAFB Partner Agencies provide direct food assistance to the most vulnerable.
