Food for Families Food Drive Raises 2,069,768 lbs of Food

News 10 wants to thank everyone who participated in the Food for Families Food Drive this past month.

According to KWTX, "You gave generously to nearly 20 food pantries in 9 counties, an estimated total of 2,069,768 pounds of food, breaking last year's record by more than 70,000 pounds."

KWTX also went on to thank everyone who donated to this great cause.

"KWTX could not make this project a reality without the volunteers at our Central Texas food banks, multiple businesses like H-E-B, numerous service organizations like the Boy Scouts of America and the Masons, numerous schools and student organizations, and the hundreds of volunteers who sort the donations and see that they are safely delivered to our pantries. There is no small way to thank so many who go unnamed and unrecognized for their sacrifices and donations of time, resources and finances. Every donation, large and small, deserves our deepest appreciation. Thank you Central Texas for proving you truly are the 'Heart' of Texas."

All of this food will go to people in need across multiple counties in Central Texas
