Support Central Texas Food Bank's Thanksgiving Drive
Hello everyone!

This year, CityView is sponsoring a Virtual Food Drive for the Central Texas Food Bank here in Austin. Our goal is to raise $1,000 to donate to the Central Texas Food Bank to aid in their efforts to provide meals to families in need for Thanksgiving. We are accepting donations from now until November 21st!

If we are able to reach our goal of $1,000, we will help provide up to 2,400 meals! Any donation amount helps us reach this goal.

The Central Texas Food Bank is committed to ending hunger in Central Texas—but they need our help. Ensuring all our Central Texas neighbors have access to nutritious food takes sustained and committed support from caring members of our community, like you.

When people are fed, futures are nourished. Your most generous gift today is an investment in the health of our community. By donating to the Central Texas Food Bank, you are joining in the fight to end hunger here. Together, we are making tomorrow possible.

Central Texas Bites Back: Combating Hunger
In the vibrant heart of Central Texas, where community and togetherness are core values, there lies a challenge that demands our collective attention. The Central Texas Food Bank says “around 40% of college students need food assistance at some point” (Fernandez KVUE ABC). This figure isn't just a cold statistic, it represents our children, our neighbors, and our future. But within this setback lies opportunity for transformation.This is where our journey begins.

Welcome to the "Central Texas Bites Back: Combating Hunger Together" initiative. We are a group of 5 college students at Texas State University looking to make a change in our community. This GoFundMe drive is more than a call for funds, it's a call for unity, awareness, and action against the issue of food insecurity around our cities. Our goal is clear: raise $1,000 to enhance Central Texas Food Bank’s logistical capabilities, packaging procedures, and ensure that high-quality nourishment reaches every individual who needs it.

With a united community we have the power to enact tangible change. Every contribution, no matter how small, is a step towards a hunger-free Central Texas. It's an investment in a future where every child, family, studnet, individual has access to the basic human right of food.

Join us in our mission. Let’s donate, share, and spread the word to our friends and loved ones. Together, let's ensure that Central Texas not only bites back against hunger but takes the steps necessary to erase it from our community once and for all.

Soho House Volunteer Club & Friends :
It’s no secret to those of us who lived it, the Central Texas Food Bank was hit hard by both the pandemic and the historic winter storm. We, here locally, are faced with increasing demand on the CTFB and a sharply dwindling supply of banked goods. Soho Volunteer club and friends are motivated to get out into the broader Austin Community and assist our brothers and sisters in this beloved place we all share. Without action, many of our brothers and sisters will go without this Thanksgiving, and that’s unacceptable. Soho House is, at its core, about cultivating community with intention. The volunteer club has gotten very intentional about making an impact in Historic East Austin’s underserved communities. Please join me in donating to Central Texas Food Bank. One dollar donated creates eight meals! Let’s be the change we hope to see TOGETHER!

The Rusty Fund
I’m going to ask you for money.

Well, Rusty is going to ask you for money.

This idea arose one day when Rusty was meeting a 1-year-old neighbor. A 75-pound dog as tall as you can be intimidating that first time. And typical Rusty, he was careful, easy and gentle. He nosed the little boy slightly then turned to the side to offer his back for patting. He never pushed, never rushed.

It’s always been this way with Rusty. He and children were just meant for one another. Some of the first words in the vocabulary of the little girl across the street were “Rusty’s house.” He smiles at unknown kids. It is just his way.

He’s been an Austinite all his life. I have been for half my life. And that is now changing. I wanted to leave one last gift for a city that has given me many.

Plus, there is one particular place I’ve spent a lot of my time. I was there before it officially opened. And hundreds of times since. So, I need to say goodbye to that spot.

But it simply can’t be about me. Just not my way.

So as I say goodbye, and through August leading up to that farewell, I’m instituting the Rusty Fund. All the donations will go to the Central Texas Food Bank. To feed children. It’s amazing what the food bank can turn a dollar into, and I believe Rusty would agree no child should have to be hungry.

Please donate to the Rusty Fund. When I physically gather my friends to say goodbye at the end of the month, we’d like it to be a fundraiser for the Rusty Fund.

Let’s not say farewell. Let’s say live your best life to as many children as possible.

Please donate.

Front Steps Project Austin
If you haven't heard of the Front Steps project it was started by a photographer in Massachusetts named Cara Soulia. Starting today, I am taking her vision and expanding the project in Austin, TX.

I am taking five minute "Front Steps Portraits" of Austin residents. After your quick session, I will email you the digital file of your portrait. In exchange, I am asking you to make a good faith donation to The Central Texas Food Bank.

The purpose of this project is to bring us together when we might feel isolated. Participating in this project is also an opportunity to step up to help those who need it most right now in Austin.

I will be taking images outside ONLY and from at least 10 feet away. Our session will be brief, likely just 5 minutes. This is not a typical get-dressed-up-and-pose-for-the-photographer session. Want to stand outside in your pajamas and slippers? Sounds good to me. Kids in mismatched clothes but you’re thrilled they got dressed? Fantastic. Portrait of you and your puppy? Wearing your bike gear because you’re headed off to ride a trail in the nice weather? Love it! Be you.

In exchange for the digital file of your family portrait, I ask you to make a good faith donation to the Central Texas Food Bank.

Sign up to claim your session here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScBoFJDeW7PWUORoS6xzV_n7OzjSkvOKDE_yO_DecuX5ZUEmg/viewform?usp=sf_link

Central Texans Need Food
Two years ago you helped me raise @5k for the govt shutdown. The same for 'Breaking and Entering'. I'm asking just a bit more this time.

In the 1930's my parents as kids had to stand in bread lines or depend on strangers just for a meal. People, we are already seeing "bread lines" of people waiting at food-banks.

Record numbers of people are losing their jobs without any savings to fall back on. And the stimulus won't last in their accounts.

I can use my voice to get the word out. You can help by giving whatever you can. Even though I know it also may be tough on you. Those of us still employed are blessed.

It will take a very long time for any divided and chaotic government to help. I'd really like to blow this GFM out of the water.

Your donation from this GFM goes right to the Cen Tex Food bank. I don't touch it so there is no chance I use it for booze.

Please share and lets get some help for our friends in need.

Thanks,

DD
