Every year, Chamber staff rally to support the Austin community by donating to the Central Texas Food Bank. Usually, our "Red, White, and Food" campaign includes red, white, and blue teams who compete to raise donations as a fun way to give back.

This year, we were not able to hold our friendly competition in person, but we still wanted to help the Central Texas Food Bank, especially at a time when so many in our community are in need. We set a goal to raise enough for 10,000 meals, and thanks to members of our caring community, ShipStation and the Straube Family, every gift was matched.

By the end of our fundraiser, we were able to more than double our goal by raising enough for 21,273 meals!

It's a difficult time for so many of us, but giving back is a way raise our team's spirit while raising donations to feed our neighbors.
