For the second year in a row, Wimberley’s longstanding food pantry has received a grant from the Carl C. Anderson Sr. and Marie Jo Anderson Charitable Foundation. The foundation approached CBB and awarded a $10,000 challenge grant based on the merits of CBB programs and of the highly collaborative nature of the community partners who help them carry their programs out.
Since 1986, CBB has continuously provided weekly food distributions, relying solely on volunteers and community donations. In the four decades it has been in existence, CBB has kept its operating expenses low, neither receiving government funding nor employing paid staff.
CBB also participates in the Student Supplemental Food program which provides food boxes to Wimberley Independent School District students in need during the summer and winter breaks when school breakfasts and lunches are not available.
