Eagle Pass, TX (July 18, 2018) THE EAGLE PASS COMMUNITY GETS A VISIT FROM THE FOOD

BANK. An invitation was extended to the South Texas Food Bank to attend the 3rd Annual Bounce Back to School Health Fair. Children and parents had the opportunity to learn about the food bank and its available programs. Programs such as the Kids Café, Adopt A Family and emergency assistance are some of the available programs that provide aid to those affected by hunger. Just recently, a new Kids Café site opened its doors in Eagle Pass, TX in efforts to continue nourishing children through the summer.

During the back to school event, children received literacy items such as chapter books and picture books and one lucky winner was even gifted with a new bike through our multiple raffles held at the event. The food bank believes that sufficient nutrition intake, education and physical activity are key factors in the ideal development of a child. This visit proved to be a success with hundreds of people visiting our informational booth and leaving away with school supplies, nutritional items and gifts!

Mario Factor, Kids Café Program Coordinator stated, “We had a wonderful experience during the community event. It was a great feeling being able to visit the Eagle Pass community and see children and parents be beyond grateful to receive books and other school supplies!”
