- They distributed more than 13,000 commodity boxes through their local mobile pantries in 2022.
- They serve over 5,000 children through a backpack program, after-school programs, and school pantries.
- They distribute food through more than 75 partnering church pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters in Bowie county and the surrounding area.
