As food insecurity rises, Central Texas Food Bank keeps helping
Food banks are at the center of community needs because food is a basic need, Sari Vatske says. As president and CEO of, one of the larger food banks within the Feeding America food bank network, she helps serve thousands of people each year and strives to ensure that no meals are missed in Central Texas.
Rising inflation, cost of food, and supply chain disruptions are bringing the need for food bank services back to pandemic levels, Vatske says. CTFB, like most food banks, is susceptible to market fluctuations. It relies on the generosity of food donors like partnering restaurants and grocery stores, as well as collaborations with nonprofits, many of whom need volunteers to help distribute the food.
