Food is a basic need for every East Texan. 

But a gap exists. The Multiply Meals Plan, a Datamax initiative with the East Texas Food Bank, helps fill a small portion of that gap with some basic multiplication. Scroll down for more.

Here's the basics. Hunger affects 1 in 6 people in East Texas right now.

- East Texas Food Bank's 2022 Annual Report

As fellow East Texans, that statistic staggered us.  

No one should miss out on something as basic as a next meal. After downloading the East Texas Food Bank's 2022 Annual Report, we learned that "for every $1 donated to the Food Bank, the ETFB can serve up to 8 meals to hungry East Texans." (Up to 5 meals as of 2023). That number — what can be done with a single dollar — spoke to us.

In short, we came up with the Multiply Meals Plan: For every nominal purchase with Datamax, we will make a donation to the East Texas Food Bank, in honor of your organization. 

Here's the stats.

- numbers included in the East Texas Food Bank's 2022 Annual Report.

These statistics tell the true story about ETFB's mission to fight hunger and feed hope.

  • The East Texas Food Bank operates with over 200 partner agencies and feeding programs throughout East Texas, covering 26 East Texas Counties... or 20,000 square miles.
  • 96 percent of all revenue and support the East Texas Food Bank receives goes directly toward its programs.
  • 117,300 households were served by its partner agencies and programs in 2022, equating to 27,000,000 meals.
  • 70,560 East Texas Children are facing hunger according to Feeding America.
  • 14 million total pounds of USDA produce were provided by ETFB to hungry East Texans in Tyler, Lufkin, and Longview.

Our Wish.

Our wish, through partnership with the East Texas Food Bank, is to help put more food on the table for communities in need within twenty-six East Texas counties we jointly serve.

How it Works. 

For every technology transaction with Datamax of $1,500 or more, we will donate $50 to the East Texas Food Bank, in honor of your organization. Based on ETFB’s ability to serve 5 meals per every $1 donated, approximately 250 meals will be served to those in need through your $50 donation – multiplying our collective efforts to fight hunger and feed hope in East Texas.

About East Texas Food Bank

The history behind this invaluable East Texas organization.

The East Texas Food Bank was created in 1988 by a group of community leaders in Tyler to fight hunger. ETFB started with 17 partner agencies in 10 counties and now operates with over 200 partner agencies and feeding programs throughout 26 East Texas counties.

While its programs have evolved to meet the needs of our community, ETFB’s vision remains the same today as when it started — to create a hunger-free East Texas. ETFB believes that every East Texan should have access to the nutritious food they need to thrive. The East Texas Food Bank serves its community with three main impact areas:

  • FEED children, families and seniors through 200+ partner agencies and feeding programs.
  • STRENGTHEN families through nutrition education and benefits assistance programs.
  • LEAD the community in hunger-relief work and advocacy.
