United Against Hunger in the Rio Grande Valley

Thank you! We sincerely appreciate your contribution(s) to our efforts as we continue evolving strategically to bring food to the table for families and individuals. What began as an urgent pandemic response through our food distributions has grown into a comprehensive hunger-fighting initiative in United Against Hunger. Through communication, feedback and research, we have expanded our impact and fill critical meal gaps by supplying pantries with fresh produce, meat, oils and other staples.

Why food pantry meals?

Food insecurity impacts the lives of many southern Cameron County residents, reducing their ability to access or afford the quality and quantity of food needed for their households. Contributing factors range from unexpected car repairs depleting income, to medical bills for a sick child redirecting family budgets away from the grocery store. When this occurs, community food pantries become a critical lifeline.
United Against Hunger aims to enhance these vital food pantries and fill the gaps in nutritional support. Though pantries provide necessary calories, they often lack all the components for complete, home-cooked meals. Our program focuses on supplying fresh produce, meat, oils and other staples to help families facing economic hardship prepare wholesome dishes. Comprehensive food access empowers community wellbeing and stability.

United Way of Southern Cameron County continues working to improve food availability through partnerships, resource allocation and community engagement. We still have so much work to do to nourish our neighbors in need and cultivate a food-secure future for all. Through faithful partners like you, we are able to enhance our outreach and programs to empower lasting change around food access and equity. There is power in community; thank you for helping us lift up others today as we drive towards a hunger-free tomorrow.
