Maverick County recently hosted the South Texas Food Bank at the International Bank of Commerce (IBC) in Eagle Pass for a regional workshop focused on addressing food insecurity across Maverick, Dimmit, Val Verde, and Kinney counties. The event brought together community leaders, volunteers, and organizations working to tackle hunger in the region.
Co-Hosting a Vital Event

Maverick County Judge Ramsey English Cantu attended the event and actively participated in discussions on strategies to reduce food insecurity. His leadership has been key to driving Maverick County’s efforts to support its residents and build strong partnerships with the South Texas Food Bank.
The Maverick County Food Pantry, managed by Gerardo Perez, works closely with the South Texas Food Bank to provide essential food items to local families.
