We have an amazing announcement! Due to the generous gifts of our matching sponsors and incredible community members like you, The Caring Place surpassed its goal of raising $110,000 during the Amplify campaign!

Ultimately, we raised just over $123,000 to benefit programs and services that The Caring Place offers to neighbors in need! Out of over 700 nonprofits participating in this Central Texas online giving event, The Caring Place raised the 10th most funds according to the Amplify leaderboard! This speaks to your commitment as a community to be a good neighbor when folks need it most. We thank you for being the kind of people who step up when families are struggling, and for making this the most caring community around!

Announcement: This month the Food Pantry at The Caring Place returns to a free choice model on Monday, April 4th! This allows households to select food their entire family will enjoy. The Food Pantry will be closed on Friday, April 1st in order to finish preparing the space.

Neighbors may visit the Food Pantry once a month at 2000 Railroad Avenue, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM. The Food Pantry is closed on Wednesdays in order to distribute food in other parts of our service area.
