Our Story

The Little Elm Area Food Bank began in 1984, when founder Pearl Gentsch, requested cans of food for the poor instead gifts for her birthday. Now we serve families in Hackberry, Little Elm, Lakewood Village, Oak Point, Crossroads south of Highway 380, Hill Town, Navo and all additional areas served by the Little Elm Independent School District.
