"Feeding Texas is thrilled to partner with Favor to support our
fight against summer hunger and ensure Texas kids have access to food year-round,"
said Celia Cole, CEO of Feeding
Texas, the state association of food banks. "We know that here in
Texas, hunger doesn't take a
summer vacation. While summer should be a time of joy and
relaxation for kids, it can also mean up to 90 days without
reliable school meals that many kids depend on to thrive. When
Texas kids lose out on school
meals, food banks see hunger spike and increased need in their
communities. We are grateful for this generous support from Favor
and know that together, we can end summer hunger in Texas."
Contributions help Feeding Texas serve millions of individuals
and families experiencing hunger and food security, including the
millions of Texas children who
experience food insecurity with no access to free or reduced-price
school breakfasts and lunches during the summer when school is
out:
- 25% (one in four) of Texas
children experience hunger
- Texas' child food insecurity
rate is higher than the national average
- According to Feeding America, kids who don't get enough to eat,
especially during their first three years, begin life at a serious
disadvantage
- Nearly 4 million (one in eight) Texans struggle with hunger and
food insecurity
- Texas is one of just nine
states with higher food insecurity than the national average
With a strong commitment to hunger relief and giving back to the
communities Favor serves, the on-demand delivery service's
contributions have totaled over 2 million meals through a
series of donations and fundraising campaigns since 2019.
