We're always looking for ways to bring you more healthy food! This month, we have two new Mobile Food Pantry sites kicking off. The first takes place at Padrón Elementary School in North Austin on the third Wednesday of every month from 8:30-9:30 a.m. The first distribution will take place on March 18th. The second takes places at Ortega Elementary School in East Austin on the fourth Wednesday of every month from 8:30-9:30 a.m. The first distribution will take place on March 25th. We’re thrilled to work with AISD to expand our programming and reach more families in Austin, and we hope to see you there!
