Vogt Engineering Supports Montgomery County Food Bank
Fighting Hunger. Feeding Hope.

Food insecurity is defined by the United States Department of Agriculture as the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods. It is a condition of not having access to sufficient food or food of an adequate quality to live a healthy life. To learn more about food insecurity throughout the nation, Feeding America has an interactive map on their website. The Map the Meal Gap shows that food insecurity exists in every county and congressional district in the U.S.
Montgomery County Food Bank envisions a community where everyone has access to sufficient, nutritious food. Their mission is to unite the community to fight hunger. Did you know one in four children are food insecure in Montgomery County?
Each month, Montgomery County Food Bank serves children, seniors, and families in our area. In 2022, the food bank was able to serve an average of 65,000+ individuals each month. This was an increase of nearly 10,000 individuals monthly compared to 2021.
Astonishingly, the Montgomery County Food Bank worked collaboratively with a vast network of partners including other pantries and local school districts to serve over 10 million meals to our neighbors in need in 2022!
Every $1 raised provides up to 4 meals for those facing hunger in Montgomery County!
At their recent 2023 Fighting Hunger, Feeding Hope Gala, the Montgomery County Food Bank raised over $585,000 which will provide up to 2.3 million meals for our neighbors in need of food assistance.
To continue to raise funds to combat hunger in Montgomery County, the food bank is hosting a 5K Trail Run and community event. The “Outrun Hunger” will be held at The Lake House at Grand Central Park in Conroe on Sunday, May 7, 2023, starting at noon.
