The Brazos Valley Food Bank utilizes food, funds and friends to bring the Brazos Valley closer to being hunger-free.
Brazos Valley Food Bank approaches its anti-hunger work through two essential strategies: Solving Hunger Today and Ending Hunger Tomorrow. By addressing immediate needs through food distribution and supportive programs, BVFB ensures that families have food on the table now. Simultaneously, it works to break the cycle of hunger long-term by tackling the underlying causes of food insecurity through education, partnerships, and community-driven solutions.
The Brazos Valley Food Bank welcomes a diverse range of partnerships to help fight hunger in our community.
From business and corporate food donations to contributions from local gardens, farms, and ranches, BVFB works with a variety of food suppliers. Additionally, BVFB partners with nonprofits and churches as Agency Partners, creating a network of community resources to reach those in need.

ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
