Board of Directors
Across North Texas, parents are wondering how they will be
able to feed their families. Unemployment remains high, and many
people are facing food insecurity for the first time. The demand for
food has exponentially increased.
Yet in this difficult time, we also have incredible news to
share. In 2015, we set a goal to provide access to 92 million
meals for hungry North Texans by 2025. As the need increased
in recent months, so did our food distribution. And because of
gifts from generous friends like you, we reached our goal this
summer . . . five years ahead of schedule.
Thank you for making this possible!

Hungry Neighbors
Need Our Help
As we celebrate the milestone, we know our work is far from
over. In fact, this fall we expect to help more people than ever
before. No one in our community should face hunger. That’s
why we are working hard to restock our shelves for our neighbors
who will depend on us in the coming months.
It’s not easy to provide meals for so many people — but with
your help, I know we can do it.
In this issue of Around the Table, you’ll meet Lourdes and
Amanda, two mothers who struggled to keep their children fed
but received nutritious food thanks to you. You’ll also learn about
our response to the pandemic and how we’ve been able to safely
provide food for those reaching out for assistance.
It is only because of your support that we can continue to
provide nourishing meals to our North Texas neighbors.
Gratefully,
