Food for Every Table, a Williamson County Initiative
Community Health Connect launched a Food Access Initiative in 2023 to address the growing number of families needing access to food. Since that time, every food pantry and church support program in Williamson County has consistently reported drastic month-over-month and year-over-year increases in the need for food since the pandemic. We we started convening partners to find out ways we could work smarter, together.
By the end of 2024, the collective impact working group was formalized and named Food for Every Table, a Williamson County Initiative.
