Benefits  & Assistance Resources

The City of Winnsboro is committed to supporting efforts that address food insecurity and provide vital resources to our residents. With 19.2% of our community living below the poverty line, ensuring access to nutritious food is a key priority.

We're working alongside organizations such as the East Texas Food Bank and our local food pantries to help connect residents with resources, including the Winnsboro Community Resource Center & Food Pantry.
