Our Impact
12:31 provides practical, individualized support to children and families experiencing financial hardship in the Lake Travis area—helping meet immediate needs while promoting greater stability.
Since launching its Summer Meal Program in 2023, 12:31 estimates that it has provided approximately 105,880 meals to local children and families. The families served reflect significant need: 95% identified as racial minorities, 75% lived below the federal poverty level, and approximately 60% of families who appear eligible for Medicaid or CHIP were not enrolled.
12:31’s impact extends beyond food assistance. In 2026, the organization supported 171 unique single mothers and 1,046 unique children across its programs and assistance categories.
These families often face overlapping challenges—from food and housing insecurity to childcare and transportation barriers. 12:31’s flexible approach helps address those interconnected needs while supporting greater family stability and financial progress.
2026 Impact Highlights: Summer Meals
This summer was one of our busiest summers yet, with Summer Meals leading the charge! Over the course of the summer, we provided over $50,000 worth of groceries to families across LTISD, which equates to nearly 17,000 lbs of food and more than 14,000 meals!
All in all, we provided weekly groceries to 40 families this year, totaling 181 people—101 of them kids.
That’s a 56% increase from the previous two years.
Beyond The Numbers: One Single Mom’s Journey
A single mother of three turned to 12:31 while leaving an unhealthy, emotionally abusive situation and working to create a safe and stable environment for her children.
12:31 provided financial support, hands-on problem-solving that helped her family establish greater stability, and stable housing that gave her children greater consistency and security.
She shared:
“These may seem like individual forms of assistance, but together they have created a foundation that has allowed my family to move forward.”
She has since secured a well-paying job that better supports her family. Most significantly, for the first time in several years, she no longer needs 12:31’s Summer Meal or Back-to-School assistance—a meaningful step from crisis support toward greater financial independence.
Her story reflects what 12:31 strives to make possible: meeting families where they are, addressing the barriers in front of them, and helping create the stability needed to move forward.
