Hungry Souls

Feeding children. Fueling futures.

Together, we can fight childhood hunger in Central Texas and ensure every child has the chance to thrive.

Every day, thousands of children in Central Texas go to bed hungry.

The insecurity of hunger impacts everything about a child’s life—their long-term health, their ability to focus on their education, and their future success.

But food insecurity remains a largely invisible problem, hidden behind nice-looking homes, hardworking families, and strong school systems.

Why should we care? Because food insecure children are our neighbors, our classmates, and our friends.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Hungry Souls provides nutritious meals to children in our community who need it most, helping them grow into who they’re meant to be and break generational cycles of scarcity and poverty.

Through partnerships with local schools, we ensure children and their families have enough to eat during weekends and school breaks—the times when they are most likely to go hungry—so they can thrive in school and in life

Hope is on the menu

At Hungry Souls, we do more than just fill bellies; we fill hearts and fuel futures.

Our holistic model is designed to provide optimal nutrition for growing children and connect vulnetrable families to resources so they can end cycles of hunger for good.

Forging Strong Relationships

We partner with local schools to identify children who are food insecure and facilitate food distribution, ensuring meals get where they’re needed most. We know every child we serve by name and demonstrate the love of Jesus through caring relationships.

Growing Strong Kids

We give every family a Crockpot, healthy recipes, and all the ingredients they need to cook nourishing meals together each week. We only serve food we would feed our own kids.

Building Strong Families

We provide enough food to feed the child’s entire family for the weekend or school break, filling bellies and hearts as families bond over shared mealtimes—with the security of knowing where their next meal will come from.

When children have consistent nutrition, a solid education, and a support system of caring adults, it changes lives.

HOW WE DO IT

Behind every bag of food donated is a real name, a real face, and an entire family that benefits from your support.

"My niece and I have been a part of the Hungry Souls program for about 2 years. My niece looks forward to Thursdays, as that is when we get our groceries from Hungry Souls. We love the food provided and enjoy cooking together. We depend on the meals provided to us. I really don't know what we would do without that additional help."
