east texas food bank

It's a day to get outside, fling some frisbees and help out both the East Texas Food Bank and the Tyler Parks and Recreation department.

The need for food is big at the East Texas Food Bank, and there are several ways to help. One East Texas business has collected more than 700,000 pounds of food since 2010.

It's Christmas in July at East Texas Whataburger locations on Tuesday (July 16th).

Hunger is a big deal in East Texas and when we all come together we can help put an end to it. You can help put an end to hunger tonight and receive a free Whataburger thanks to your kindness and generosity.

It's a simple way for you to help the East Texas Food Bank this Saturday.

The East Texas Food Bank will host a special showing of the classic movie 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving' at the Bergfeld Amphitheater for East Texas families!

They started on Wednesday building a pyramid made of canned food. With the help of volunteers, the record looks to have been set.

Take 36,000 cans of food and try the build to world's largest can pyramid. Well, that record could be set in Tyler on Friday.

Whataburger has teamed up with the East Texas Food Bank with various promotions across their East Texas locations to benefit both our stomachs and the food bank.

Bring the family to enjoy the "feast" followed by a showing of "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving".

In April I posted the story about the East Texas Food Bank and their quest to win Walmart's "Fighting Hunger Together" campaign. Yesterday we received word from officials at the food bank that they were one of 100 organizations selected to receive part of $3 million in grants to fight hunger. The East Texas Food Bank's part of the grant totals $45,000!

The East Texas Food bank is asking for your help to earn them a grant for $45,000 from Wal-Mart. The East Texas Food bank is a finalist in Wal-Mart's "Fighting Hunger Together" campaign which will award 40 food banks with $45,000 for their child hunger programs!
