Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry & Support Center
The Mission of the Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry & Support
Center is to serve all people in Bastrop County with hunger-related
needs and support services which may include providing emergency
food, information, referral counseling and support services for families
and the elderly.
At a time when charitable giving is crucial for those in need, your
generosity is greatly appreciated and goes to help those with the very
basic need of food. In addition to the elderly struggling against rising
prices on fixed incomes are the increasing numbers of families of
displaced workers.  Please consider giving generously. See additional
