Our Story
The Little Elm Area Food Bank began in 1984, when founder Pearl Gentsch asked for cans of food for those in need instead of birthday gifts. What started as a simple act of generosity has grown into a dedicated effort to fight food insecurity. Today, our doors are open to anyone in need, no matter their circumstances or location, because we believe access to food should never be limited or restricted.
