A Note From Our Founders

"Our community has become our family."

For the last 15+ years, we have faithfully served lunch to the Round Rock community every Saturday outside Hernandez Middle School. Through every kind of weather and even the pandemic lockdown, we have served a hot meal and a hug to those in need.

We invite you to come join us, meet our community, our volunteers, and our leaders. We keep things simple so anyone can serve! Children are welcome alongside a parent or guardian.

Disaster Relief Outreach

When the Storm Hits, We Show Up.

Our ministry was forged in crisis. From the first hot meal we served at a disaster site, we learned that a warm plate and a loving presence can carry people through their darkest hours. That same heart beats in everything we do β€” every Saturday, and whenever our neighbors need us most.

2009β€’Bastrop, TX

Bastrop Wildfires

Our journey began in the ashes of the Bastrop wildfires, serving alongside our sister organization, Feed the Need. We grilled hot meals for displaced families and the tireless crews fighting the flames β€” and discovered a calling we could not walk away from.

2011β€’Round Rock, TX

Love Serve Feed Is Born

Out of that first fire response, Love Serve Feed took root as a weekly Saturday ministry in Round Rock β€” carrying the same heart for disaster relief into an everyday commitment to our neighbors.

2013β€’West, TX

West Fertilizer Plant Explosion

When the fertilizer plant explosion devastated the town of West, we mobilized to feed first responders and families reeling from the loss.

2013β€’Moore, OK

Moore EF-5 Tornado

In the wake of one of the most destructive tornadoes in Oklahoma history, we brought hot meals and a steady presence to a community searching for hope amid the wreckage.

2017β€’Houston, TX

Hurricane Harvey Relief

When Hurricane Harvey unleashed catastrophic flooding across Southeast Texas, we rallied our community to raise funds and send support to the families and first responders swallowed by the floodwaters. The generosity of our neighbors helped carry hope to those who had lost so much.

2025β€’Georgetown, TX

Georgetown Flood Relief

In July 2025, when devastating floods struck our neighbors in Georgetown, we led the feeding effort β€” serving hot meals to flood survivors and the crews working around the clock to clean up and rebuild. We stood alongside our community in its darkest waters, and we will keep standing.

Community Garden

A garden to grow fresh produce alongside our meals β€” nourishing body and spirit from the soil up.

Small Paid Staff

A dedicated staff to help expand our vision and reach more neighbors, more Saturdays, and surrounding Texas communities.

"Love Serve Feed America" Book

Our upcoming book to teach other communities how to duplicate our street feeding model across the United States.

Disaster Relief Partnerships

Partner with regional nonprofits and rapid-response teams during hurricane, flood, and freeze disasters.

"No matter how far we grow, the heart of Love Serve Feed never changes β€” loving our community with a hamburger and a hug, and always keeping the family feel alive."

Every expansion, every new building, every book and podcast β€” it all points back to one Saturday on the sidewalk, serving our neighbors like family.

Will you help us build this dream for our neighbors?

15 Years on the Sidewalk: What We Learned Feeding Round Rock

People ask how we've never missed a single Saturday in 15 years through rain, freezes, and lockdowns. The secret is simple: once you look into someone's eyes, you don't see a stranger. You see family.
