The East Texas Food Bank Tyler Resource Center has served thousands of Smith County households in its first year of operation, providing more than 1,000,000 meals to those in need.
“They’re a blessing to society and to Tyler as a whole,” said Tyler resident Odie Caples who “shops” at the pantry twice a month. “I live on a fixed income – I have to watch what I spend. This food bank really helps a lot of people, and that’s coming from the bottom of my heart.”
