Hope Over Hunger This Holiday Season Friends Against Hunger Your support is critical this time of year as we prepare for the increased need NTFB’s Indian American Council feeds North Texas neighbors The North Texas Food Bank’s Indian American Council (NTFB-IAC) was formed in September 2017 to raise hunger awareness and improve engagement from the Indian-American community toward NTFB’s mission. Within two years, the NTFB-IAC has enabled more than 4.25 million meals and counting. We depend on people like you to help us keep the shelves stocked for hungry families. Thank you for making sure families in North Texas won’t go hungry this holiday season. Part of the NTFB-IAC is “Friends Against Hunger,” a Frisco-based group organized and led by Suresh Potluri. The group celebrates their friendship by committing to enable meals through volunteering every quarter at the Food Bank and conducting canned food and peanut butter drives. “This holiday season, we urge everyone to give a little to impact the many who are food insecure,” says Suresh. Even children can give back! The NTFB-IAC is spearheading the Change Makers program, where children can visit the Perot Family Campus in Plano, purchase a piggy bank and begin collecting money. Each quarter, it can be brought back to the Food Bank to be counted and donated. For more information and to get involved, visit ntfb.org/IAC. Children can have healthy, nutritious holiday meals, thanks to you. Page 4 Your support will give our hungry friends and neighbors a happy holiday. Page 5
