The Lower Colorado River Authority has donated $26,000 to more than two dozen local food banks in 22 counties throughout its service territory.
LCRA contributed $1,000 each to 26 food banks to help provide food for people in need.
“This year has been one of extraordinary challenges,” said Phil Wilson, LCRA general manager.
“The need for help continues to rise, especially during the holidays, and food banks across our region are working hard to provide for people and families through these difficult times. We are pleased to be able to help support their important work.”
The recipient food banks are in Bastrop, Burleson, Burnet, Caldwell, Colorado, DeWitt, Fayette, Gonzales, Hays, Kimble, Lampasas, Lee, Llano, Mason, Matagorda, McCulloch, Mills, San Saba, Tom Green, Waller, Washington and Wharton counties.
