Story

The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) in Austin is proud to be partnering with the Central Texas Food Bank to bring relief to many low income Hispanic families that are struggling financially.

Food insecurity is an ongoing battle for millions of Americans and especially for Hispanic children in Texas. Prior to COVID-19, 17% of Hispanic children in Texas lived in a food-insecure household. Since the pandemic began, more than 40% of Hispanic households with children have reported being food insecure (per Unidos US Jan 2021 report).

SHPE Austin recognizes the importance for current and future generations to have access to basic food resources and advocates for children specifically to be able to grow and succeed without worrying about where their next meal will come from.

Food should not be a luxury, but a right.

Please join us by donating to help support the Central Texas Food Bank and the number of families that form part of our community. Every dollar helps feed 4 families!

Thank you in advance for your donation and help to feed our FAMILIA!
