Helping East Texas families put food on the table, one can at a time.
As the seasons shift and families prepare for the holidays, many in East Texas face the harsh reality of food insecurity. At HealthCARE Express, we believe caring for our communities goes far beyond the walls of our clinics. That’s why we’re proud to launch a month-long canned food drive this October across all our East Texas locations.
Local Food Banks & Pantry Partners in East Texas
Your donations will directly support trusted food banks and community organizations that serve thousands of families across the region, including:
- Longview Resource Center – a local pantry dedicated to feeding families in our community.
- The Bridge of Compassions – an organization devoted to serving neighbors in need with food and support.
- First Baptist Church & Mission Atlanta – helping to meet urgent food needs in our community.
- Titus County Cares Food Pantry – ensuring that families in Titus County receive the help they need.
Why Canned Food Drives Matter
Dr. Spencer Reynolds of HealthCARE Express shared:
“Food insecurity doesn’t just affect a person’s diet; it impacts their overall well-being. When families are unsure about where their next meal will come from, stress levels rise, kids struggle to focus in school, and chronic health conditions can worsen. This is why we’re proud to stand alongside local food banks to help fill the gap.”
Canned goods are vital because they are nutritious, nonperishable, and easy to distribute. October is an especially important time to give, as food banks prepare for the busy holiday season when demand is often at its highest.
