Based on the statistics provided by the Texas Health and Human Services Department, only 60% of Texans eligible for Food Stamps are receiving benefits. In January 2007 the East Texas Food Bank began its outreach and enrollment program, partnering with community and faith-based organizations in an effort to educate and enroll clients in the Nutrition Programs provided by the USDA.
