Food Bank of the Golden Crescent

Our Story

Founded in 1986, the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent (FBGC) was established to combat hunger in the community. Serving an 11-county area including Calhoun, Colorado, DeWitt, Goliad, Gonzales, Jackson, Lavaca, Matagorda, Refugio, Wharton, and Victoria, FBGC has become a vital support system for over 100 agencies. Over the past 37 years, the Food Bank has expanded its reach, introducing programs like the Kids’ Backpack program, which provides nourishing meals to children over the weekend, and mobile food pantries that deliver food to rural areas lacking access to food resources.

Our Impact

In 2021, the Food Bank distributed over 8.6 million pounds of food, equating to nearly 7.2 million meals. Despite these efforts, 17.3% of families in the service area still face food insecurity.
