🍏 Food for Families 2025 help raise nearly 2 million pounds
WACO, Texas (KWTX) - Preliminary totals show Central Texans helped raise nearly 2 million pounds for Food For Families 2025. We’re currently at 1,961,048 pounds — and this does not include today’s H-E-B donations or all online contributions.
The official final total will be released after midnight on November 30. Thank you, Central Texas!
Food For Families is an annual project for the Longhorn Council, Scouting America; H.E.B. Grocery Company; and KWTX News 10. Together with food pantries across Central Texas, this one-day food drive collects non-perishable food and stocks the shelves of area food banks and pantries beyond the holiday season.
On the Friday before Thanksgiving, volunteers from the Scouting of America Longhorn Council, H.E.B. Grocery Company, and other community organizations collect food in 9 counties in the largest one-day food drive in Texas.
All donated food serves the people in the county in which it was collected. Central Texans have generously donated food and money totaling more than one million pounds each year for the past seven years. In 2024, almost 2 million pounds of food were collected.
