HELP KEEP TEXAS FOOD BANKS STRONG
Over the past year, while our businesses thrived, food insecurity among Texans increased drastically and Food Banks Struggled to keep up.
It's our time to give back
North Texas food banks are still experiencing record-high demand one year into the pandemic
One Year Into the COVID-19 Pandemic, North Texas Food Bank Reports Significant Increases in Hunger and Response. Food Insecurity Increased by 25 Percent, Meal Distribution Increased by 45 Percent.
Since March of 2020, Network has increased food distributions by 600%. The North Texas Food Bank provides the organization with a lot of food, which services 14 zips codes in Dallas County.
Many food recipients have never had to ask for help before. Food banks and feeding partners are adding mobile distribution sites and expanding their operation in order to meet the need.
Food donations from retail partners are helping to balance the budget.

NO ONE SHOULD GO HUNGRY DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
With school closures, job disruptions, and health risks, Texans are turning to food banks for much-needed support. They can't do it alone, and we can help.
Over the past year, food insecurity among Texans has increased 60% over the same period in 2019. 8.9M Texans (31%) are now food insecure, more than double the pre-pandemic rate.
Adding to the higher demand, food banks lost 70% of their volunteer base due to the pandemic.
It's Our Time To Give Back To Families That Were Affected And Have Been Less Fortunate, To Those Who Have Lost Their Jobs, Their Loved Ones, Their Hope...
