Two Austin community groups are joining together to create and implement a food delivery program for the homeless.
The Central Texas Food Bank and The Other Ones Foundation have created Eating Apart Together, a coordinated food delivery designed for people experiencing homelessness.
“With social distancing, people aren’t sharing food or money out in the community or on street corners,” said David Gomez, program manager for Homeless Services at Integral Care. “Many of the food pantries have closed. And, for those with money, the stores they go to have limited supplies. Now more than ever, it’s important that we make sure our neighbors experiencing homelessness have enough food.”
