Crisis Center of Comal County

Feed Our Families

When a family comes to the Crisis Center of Comal County, they have enough to worry about. Where their next meal will come from shouldn’t be one of them.

This Big Give, your generosity will help the Crisis Center offset the rising cost of food for families staying in our shelter. Your support helps us provide nutritious meals each day, keep after-school snacks available for children, and make sure our shelter kitchen is ready to care for a growing number of families.

The Cost of Feeding a Family Adds Up

According to the USDA’s July 2026 Thrifty Food Plan, providing nutritious, cost-conscious groceries for a family of four costs approximately $1,025 per month—or more than $236 each week. 

Now imagine providing meals and snacks every day for multiple families living in shelter. Every grocery trip matters, and every gift helps.

A meal may seem simple, but during a time of crisis, it can offer something much bigger: comfort, stability, and the reassurance that someone cares.

When you give to Feed Our Families, you are helping put food on the table while giving parents and children the space to focus on what comes next—safety, healing, and a new beginning.

Want to dig a little deeper into the numbers? The USDA publishes monthly reports showing the estimated cost of nutritious food at several budget levels.
