SMALL CONNECTIONS. SHARED PURPOSE.

Good food should go further.

ATX Food Relay brings together the food hubs, organizations, and community connections behind local food access in Austin.

WHY WE’RE HERE

The last mile takes a community.

Food can be close by and still hard to reach. Transportation, distance, and mobility can make accessing services difficult. Local partners and volunteers help close that gap through food distribution, community programs, and meal delivery.

This project helps neighbors understand that work and find an official next step. Browse a food hub, follow its connections to a partner and a community, and learn where to confirm current services or participation opportunities.

Clear about scope. The directory currently includes three food hubs, three partners, and three postal ZIP-area profiles. It does not cover every Austin resource, define service eligibility, or guarantee walk-in assistance.

Clear about imagery. Profile artwork is original editorial illustration, not photography of the facilities. Maps show verified address points; community maps do not show ZIP boundaries.
