In honor of Hunger Action Month, Favor announced on Thursday it is partnering with Feeding Texas, the largest hunger-relief organization in Texas, to help Texans experiencing hunger.
Beginning Thursday, Favor will donate one meal to Feeding Texas for every delivery completed in September, with the goal of reaching $25,000 in total.
With $1 helping provide at least four meals secured by Feeding Texas on behalf of its network of 21 local member food banks across the state, Favor’s commitment can help provide up to 100,000 meals total to Texans experiencing hunger and food insecurity.
“Texas is one of just 9 states with higher food insecurity than the national average and increasing access to food and nutrition for every Texan is vital in helping our communities be healthy and food secure,” Jag Bath, Favor CEO, stated in the press release. “Putting community first is at the heart of Favor, and we’re proud to continue supporting Feeding Texas’ incredibly crucial work to end hunger across our state.”
Favor’s donation will help Feeding Texas serve millions of individuals and families experiencing hunger and food insecurity in our communities. In Texas:
>> Nearly 4 million (1 in 8) Texans struggle with hunger and food insecurity.
>> 20% (1 in 5) of Texas children experience hunger.
>> 11% of households with seniors in Texas face food insecurity.
>> Hunger hits Texans of color even harder, with 1 in 4 Black Texans and 1 in 5 Latinx Texans facing the threat of hunger.
