Our History
The demand for food began spilling over to the mainland, and it became apparent that the founders’ vision was unfolding as services quickly outgrew the limits of its island facility. While the organization was in the early stages of searching for a more centralized location to better facilitate distribution of food throughout the county, Hurricane Ike struck. Although devastating in nature to both people and property, recovery from the storm provided the organization access to federal dollars designed to assist organizations serving residents directly harmed by the hurricane. This allowed the organization to relocate in 2010 its warehouse operations from the island to a larger, more centralized facility in Texas City and adopt the name Galveston County Food Bank.
