Central Texas Food Bank is the largest hunger-relief charity in Central Texas. To serve a growing need in Austin and surrounding communities, the organization constructed a new 133,704 SF facility incorporating warehouse storage, offices, and a commercial kitchen. The facility provides double the food bank’s previous warehouse capacity and seven times the refrigeration and freezer storage capacity. The commercial kitchen helps reduce food waste, enabling cooking and freezing. The generous 11.6-acre site provides space for a community fruit and vegetable garden. Both the kitchen and the garden also serve as classrooms, hosting educational cooking and gardening classes
