CALL TO FEED THE HUNGRY SUNDAYOne day. One community. One voice.
Every day, millions of Texans rely on food assistance programs to help feed their families. As people of faith, we are called not only to care for our neighbors, but also to support the systems that help them thrive.
On August 2, you are invited to join congregations across Texas for a special Sunday with a shared purpose: a future where no family in Texas has to wonder where their next meal will come from. Faith communities can't meet this need alone — charitable groups feed about 10% of hungry Texans; SNAP feeds the remaining 90% of hungry Texans.
We are signing up Texans who say SNAP is essential to make sure people are fed today.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Faith communities can’t meet this need alone.
Call to Feed the Hungry Sunday is an opportunity to educate our congregations about the essential role SNAP plays in feeding Texans facing hunger. SNAP feeds 90% of hungry Texans. Congregations, food pantries and food banks feed only 10% of hungry Texans. Those 10% are the most vulnerable so our work is essential. But we cannot fill the SNAP gap on our own. We need decision-makers to join us in ensuring that SNAP continues to play its role in food security for Texans.
90%
of hungry Texans are fed by SNAP
When that support shrinks, the impact reaches whole communities — not just individual families.

"When Jesus fed the five thousand, he did not turn people away. On August 2, we are invited to do the same — to open our doors, gather our communities, and raise our voices for the millions of Texans who depend on SNAP to eat."
