Welcome to the Montgomery County Food Bank

MCFB is a non-profit center for food distribution. We procure donated surplus food and transfer those goods in usable quantities to 50 non-profit agencies in Montgomery County, Texas.

62,930 Montgomery County residents (15%) are food insecure. On average, these food insecure  residents report and annual budget shortfall of $413 needed to afford "just enough" food. 62% of the food insecure earn too much money to receive government assistance.

Approximately 455,000 people live in the Montgomery County service area and of those, approximately 51,000 people (11.2% of the population) live below the poverty level. More than 40% served by the pantries are children under the age of 18.

Founded in 1985, nearly 6 million pounds of food was distributed in 2010. Agency food pantries distribute food to more than 31,000 individuals per month.

For each $1 donated 7 meals are given to those in need!

Out of Every Dollar Donated:

$.97 goes to food distribution
$.03 goes to administration/fundraising.

Operation Kid Pack
This program enables children to bring home 7-10 pounds of food home on Fridays concealed in a backpack that will provide 7 meals over the weekend. Secondary level schools are provided a banana box upon request that is re-filled as needed and left in a counselor's office for those students to obtain food when hungry. This program is called "Operation Food Station".In the 2011-2012 school year Operation Kid pack was expanded from 31 schools to 46 schools and currently feeds nearly 650 kids weekly throughout all 6 school districts in Montgomery County. The Food Bank often struggles to have enough food for this program.Community GardenAdjacent to the Warehouse is a 1/4 acre plot of land that has recently been developed into a Community "Good Food"Garden. There are 31 raised cedar garden beds constructed by Leadership Montgomery County Class of 2011. Texas Agri-Life Extension office Master Gardeners have accepted the Good Food Garden as a project. The Master Gardeners and Junior Master Gardeners are professional consultants that will assist in educating volunteers in the community about specific gardening topics to increase crop yield, awareness, and ability for everyone to have their own garden regardless of resources.School Pantries-(3)Montgomery County Food Bank has the only school pantries in Texas.The funds were made available through a grant by Target and Feeding America. Obtained in November 2010, Target recently re-newed this grant for another year. Cedric Smith Elementary in Magnolia, Peach Creek Elementary and Greenleaf Elementary  in Splendora can each serve 150 families each monthly with nutritious groceries consisting of perishable meats and produce, non-perishables, and cleaning products.
