Community Spotlight: St Andrews Food Bank: Donations and Program Information
The WBNA continues to partner with the St. Andrew’s Food Bank team. We host a collection point for donations at most of our events. Over the last year, St. Andrew’s has seen a significant increase for their support services, serving 200-300 community members at each pantry session.

St. Andrew’s offers a Food Pantry the 2nd & 4th Saturday of every month from 9:00am–12pm. They partner with the Central Texas Food Bank (CTFB) and Austin Diaper Bank, but the funding they receive is limited. Donations are critical in keeping the program fully functional.
The program serves a variety of clients from the surrounding area who face food insecurity. A light snack is served while clients wait their turn to shop with their guide for packaged food, fresh fruit & vegetables, milk, bread, eggs, seasonal offerings from the St. Andrew’s garden, and toiletries, in addition to child & adult diapers. The St. Andrews institution is an equal opportunity provider.
