A friendly competition developed between the employees to see which group could sort the most food. These volunteers couldn’t be stopped! Entergy also provided the Food Bank with a $2500 grant to help purchase food for low-income Southeast Texans.

The volunteers showed their community spirit by sorting food and preparing it for distribution to people in need in Southeast Texas. The mission of the Food Bank to feed the poor is made possible by groups such as the ExxonMobil Community Volunteers. More of our neighbors than ever before are accessing emergency food assistance. Last month 21,361 households asked for help with food, more than any other month in the Food Bank’s history.
