Join us in fighting hunger in Central Texas

Though we live in a land of plenty, there are many families in Bell County who do not have enough to eat. CTLC food pantry provides food assistance to more than 2,000 low-income households each month by gathering surplus food from local grocers and using donations to buy food for hungry families.
