Thank You for Looking Out for Veterans Like Derwin !

Access to nourishing meals makes for healthy lives .

When a heart attack forced Derwin into early retirement , the Air Force veteran found himself facing an uncertain future . Navigating the challenges of living on a fixed income and mounting medical bills , he didn ’ t know where to turn for help .
Then Derwin discovered one of our distribution partners serving veterans and active members of the military . With access to produce , meat and other wholesome staples , he can now stock up on the nutritious food he needs to keep his body strong and his heart healthy .

Sometimes you just need a helping hand .

— Derwin
“ Groceries cost so much these days . I ’ m glad I can come here for fresh veggies and fruit ,” Derwin says . “ It allows me to put that money toward other things I need .”
Because of you , Derwin never has to choose between paying his bills or enjoying a nourishing meal . And beyond the healthy food he receives , Derwin recognizes the deeper impact of your support — for himself and for all North Texans .
“ Sometimes you just need a helping hand . Thank you for helping — thank you for looking out for the veterans .”
When you support the North Texas Food Bank , you ’ re investing in the lives of thousands of neighbors , including men and women who served our country , like Derwin . Thank you for ensuring that every person has the healthy food they need to thrive — today , tomorrow and for years to come !
Your generosity provides food — and hope — when it ’ s needed most !
