Share the Joy of Food

We believe that sharing healthy food with others brings happiness to us all.

Some of our most cherished memories center around the tradition of sharing a meal with those we love. When we gather together around food, we share stories of our day, talk about our dreams for the future, and recollections of our past.

Today, make Amplify Austin your time to celebrate the joy of food.

Your gift ensures that everyone in our community has the opportunity to experience the joy that comes with sharing healthy, local food with their friends and family. Even better - your gift to SFC will be amplified through a generous matching grant from St. David's Foundation!
