About Feeding America Texas
An IRS-verified 501(c)(3) supporting food-assistance work across all 254 Texas counties — from the Panhandle to the Rio Grande Valley.
Feeding America Texas is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 92-1776845) focused on food-assistance work across the state — from Houston to El Paso to the Rio Grande Valley to the Panhandle. We surface every verified food pantry, SNAP office, WIC location, and meal program in Texas through a free searchable directory powered by our parent organization Feed America’s platform.
Texas faces some of the most severe food-insecurity challenges in the country, spanning vast rural areas and dense urban centers. We aggregate data from USDA primary sources, state agencies, and verified community partners so families can find help in seconds instead of making ten phone calls.
The directory is free, requires no login, and never sells user data. Every resource is listed on equal terms — no paid placements, no promoted listings. Our entity record is independently verifiable through IRS Tax Exempt Search, Candid, ProPublica, and Charity Navigator.
How we fit in the Feed America family
Feeding America Texas (EIN 92-1776845) is a state-focused affiliate of Feed America (EIN 92-1761881), the Houston-founded 501(c)(3) that operates the nationwide directory at feedam.org. The parent runs the technology and the national dataset; this entity exists so that Texas-directed gifts, grants, and partnerships can be received and attributed at the state level. Each organization is independently registered with the IRS — verify either EIN at IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search.
