Feed Others First Initiative
Where Texas hospitality meets Texas generosity. Every meal shared, every restaurant visited, and every partnership forged helps feed families across the Lone Star State.
Who We Help
The Feed Others First Initiative serves Texas families, communities, and independent restaurants through targeted support programs. We believe in strengthening the fabric of our state, one meal and one partnership at a time.
From urban food banks to rural school programs, disaster relief to community kitchens, we meet needs where they exist across the Lone Star State.

Why It Matters
"In Texas, we don't just talk about hospitality—we live it. When our neighbors are hungry, we feed them. When our communities struggle, we step up. That's the Texas way."
The Challenge
Food insecurity affects one in seven Texans, including 1.8 million children. Despite our state's abundance and agricultural heritage, too many families face difficult choices between paying bills and putting food on the table.
The pandemic amplified these challenges, but it also revealed something powerful: when Texas restaurants, communities, and food lovers unite around a common cause, we can create lasting change.
The Solution
Texas Food Lovers creates a sustainable cycle where supporting local restaurants directly feeds families in need. Every meal enjoyed, every food trail explored, and every membership purchased contributes to ending hunger in Texas.
We're proving that economic vitality and charitable impact aren't competing priorities—they're complementary forces that strengthen our communities and celebrate what makes Texas special.
Local Restaurants Matter: Independent restaurants are the heartbeat of Texas communities, creating jobs, gathering places, and cultural identity. Supporting them means supporting everything that makes our state strong.
