Because of you and volunteers like Susan( left), the North Texas Food Bank is able to get healthy food into the hands of struggling families during this difficult time.
Food Insecure for the First Time You are helping feed our neighbors during the crisis
As North Texans continue to feel the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, children in our community are among the most at risk of hunger. The North Texas Food Bank has nearly doubled its food distribution in recent months due to schools closing and unemployment skyrocketing.
Thanks to you, we’ ve been able to provide millions of pounds of nutritious food each week at Mobile Pantry distribution sites.
And it’ s for people like Elda, who received food when our Mobile Pantry came to UNT Dallas, that we must continue to be there for the community.
“ The pandemic has made things really hard for us,” Elda says.“ We have all lost our jobs, except for my husband. Before this, we never needed assistance. This food will really help us. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
Our drive-thru model at our Mobile Pantry sites is a safe way to provide boxes of food to our hungriest neighbors. Support from friends like you, and volunteers like Susan, makes this possible.
Susan is a student at El Centro College and a regular volunteer when our Mobile Pantry comes out to the school. At a Fair Park distribution during the pandemic, Susan was at the front of the line holding signs and waving to every car that came through to receive food.
“ I know how hard a time our community is having right now,” Susan says.“ I just want to spread some love and happiness to everyone I can. Seeing all those smiles and waves of the people who drove by made it all worth it.”
The long-term effects of the pandemic will continue for the foreseeable future. This will mean many more families in North Texas will be facing tough choices like buying food or paying their bills. That’ s why your continued support is so important. You are helping the North Texas Food Bank feed our neighbors at a time when they need our help the most. Thank you!
