Hunters for the Hungry

About Hunters for the Hungry

Hunters for the Hungry is a statewide hunger relief program dedicated to providing a healthy source of protein to needy Texans. In Texas, 1 in 5 people struggle to afford food.

The Texas Association of Community Action Agencies, Inc., has worked with the Hunters for the Hungry program for the past two decades, administering the program for 15 years. Since the program’s inception, it has provided nearly 2.5 million pounds of meat – or an estimated 10 million servings – to Texans in need.

In 2013, the Texas Association of Community Action Agencies, Inc., entered into an agreement with the Texas Food Bank Network to take over the Texas Hunters for the Hungry program.

For information on the program, contact Lee Pipkin at (325) 617-2228.
