You Give Hope to Neighbors
of All Ages
Greetings, Friends of the Food Bank!
I know the holidays and new year
have long since come and gone,
but I want to express one more
time how grateful I am for your
generosity at the end of 2017.
Thanks to your support, the
Food Bank has reached a
historic milestone — raising $55
million for our Stop Hunger
Build Hope campaign. These
critical funds will not only
help the Food Bank build the
Perot Family Campus — our
new volunteer and distribution
center that will open later this
year — they will also help fund
important infrastructure updates
at our Partner Agencies. This
undertaking was the largest
capital campaign for a social
service organization, and
represents a new era for hunger
relief in our region — bringing
the NTFB one step closer to
achieving our vision of creating
a hunger free, healthy North
Texas, by proving access to 92
million meals by 2025.
Please know that the impact
you’ve made – and continue to
make – means so much to your
neighbors in need. I am grateful
and humbled by the substantial
generosity of each family,

individual, foundation and
corporation that has contributed
to this historic campaign.
I invite you to read more
about Stop Hunger Build
Hope on pages 6 and 7 of this
issue of Around the Table.
Hunger affects people of all
ages, and at this time of year,
we’re especially concerned
about our community’s senior
citizens — many of whom are
living on limited incomes.
Fortunately, your support
ensures our senior neighbors can
access the nutritious food they
need to improve their health
and maintain their dignity.
Thank you for your ongoing
compassion and generosity.
Together, we’re building a
better future for North Texas.
