About Our Non-Profit
The Wimberley Fig Tree Outreach Program is a source of nutritional support for children in need in Wimberley, Texas.
The Wimberley Fig Tree Outreach Program is a non-profit organization that grew out of a passion for children, helping others, and feeding those in need. Our goal is to provide support to children in the Wimberley area who struggle with a consistent source of food.
Children who rely on the school free or reduced meal program for their daily meals can oftentimes benefit from additional food throughout the weekend. Anyone can enroll in the program. We then provide these children with take home bags filled with easy-to-open foods to eat for the weekends.
