According to Feeding Texas, over 5.3 million Texans currently face food insecurity, a figure that makes the state a national leader in this metric. The question of how many Texans are hungry reflects a complex challenge, driven by economic pressures and systemic issues that affect millions of families, children, and seniors across the state.

According to Meals on Wheels America, over 2 million seniors are served annually, yet millions more are on waitlists due to funding issues. Concerns over whether Meals on Wheels is ending have grown, but the program is not shutting down entirely, though its services are under significant pressure.
