Porch Supper connects Freer, Texas families facing food insecurity with neighbors who love to cook. Currently open to Freer residents only.
Families always use Porch Supper free. Donors get 2 months free, then $0.99 a month. The subscription helps pay for the maintenance of the site, and a portion will be donated to local non-profits supporting rural South Texas communities.
