During the week of February 16 to 21, 2026, food banks and community organizations in Texas will be distributing free food to residents in need. These distributions will occur at both fixed and mobile food pantries, as well as through partnerships with community entities like churches, educational centers, and residential complexes. This initiative is intended to support those who are food insecure across the state.

Catholic Charities Dallas, in partnership with North Texas Food Bank, is among the organizations involved in providing these essential services. Their official schedule outlines specific locations and times for food distribution, including events at local churches and community centers. For instance, on February 16, food will be distributed at Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos in Dallas, followed by additional sites on subsequent days.

This effort is part of a broader initiative to combat hunger and food insecurity in Texas, which has seen an increase in demand for food aid in recent years. By leveraging community partnerships and resources, these organizations aim to ensure that families and individuals have access to nutritious food, particularly in challenging economic times.
