This year, we’re committing a $5,000 matching donation as an Early Giving partner. That means every individual donation made between January 28 and March 3 will be matched — doubling the impact for families across Central Texas.
And the need is real. Right now, one in four children in Central Texas is food insecure. Rising living costs and limited access to healthy food are making it harder for families to put nutritious meals on the table. The Central Texas Food Bank — the largest hunger-relief nonprofit in our region — provides nearly 65 million meals each year, and this year’s matching funds will help expand their Feeding Futures School Pantry Program. That program brings food directly into schools, making it easier and more accessible for kids and families who need support.
Last year, our Amplify Austin Day support helped generate $369,000 — enough to open seven school pantries serving children in need. Our 2024 matching gift also helped provide groceries for more than 30,000 families. Even more meaningful? Our team has had the opportunity to volunteer on-site, and seeing the impact firsthand reminds us why this partnership matters so much.
We’ll be back volunteering again this year, and we couldn’t be more honored to support the incredible work CTFB is doing for our neighbors.

National Nutrition Month®, created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, is all about making informed food choices and building healthy habits. This year’s theme, “Discover the Power of Nutrition,” highlights how the right food and beverage choices help individuals — and entire communities — thrive.
For us, that includes something simple but powerful: clean water.
Hydration plays a critical role in overall wellness, and access to clean, great-tasting water shouldn’t be complicated. To celebrate National Nutrition Month, we’re also giving away our award-winning Clean Water Machine over on Instagram (@Aquasana).
Our Clean Water Machine removes up to 99.99% of 78 contaminants — including lead, PFOA/PFOS, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, herbicides, chlorine, and more — at the push of a button. Each replaceable filter cartridge lasts for 300 gallons, which means it replaces the equivalent of 2,200+ single-use plastic water bottles.
Clean water. Better nutrition. Stronger communities.
That’s what this month — and this partnership — is all about.
If you’d like to join us in supporting the Central Texas Food Bank during Amplify Austin Day, your donation can go twice as far thanks to our match. And if you’re looking for tips on healthy hydration this month, we’ve shared more on our website.
