The Beckerts Are Building Hope
with the North Texas Food Bank
For more than 30 years, John and
Pam Beckert have served the
needs of our hungry neighbors
as dedicated volunteers, leaders
and donors to the North Texas
Food Bank.
In addition to formerly serving
as the President of our board,
John continues his commitment
to the North Texas Food Bank
as a Life Board member. In his
more than three decades of
involvement with the Food Bank,
he has witnessed its growth into
one of the leading hunger relief
organizations in the nation.
Pam first began volunteering
with the Food Bank through
the Junior League. As her
involvement grew, she founded a
letter writing campaign that now
raises around $600,000 each year
for our Food 4 Kids program.

Around the Table
More recently, John and Pam
graciously agreed to chair the
Stop Hunger Build Hope capital
campaign, one of the largest
campaigns for a social service
organization in the history of
North Texas.
The couple’s hard work has
helped make enormous progress
toward our monumental $55
million goal. They understand the
significance of the campaign and
the impact that Stop Hunger Build
Hope will have on North Texas.
“We believe that this campaign
will transform our community
into one that meets every need
for nutritious meals,” they wrote
in a letter to Food Bank donors.
Following his parents’ example,
John and Pam’s son, Brent, has
taken on a leadership role of
his own for the North Texas
Food Bank. In addition to
serving on the capital campaign
committee, Brent has founded
a Young Professionals group of
energetic Food Bank supporters
under the age of 35. In addition
to organizing special events to
raise funds and create public
awareness, the organization is
working to develop the next
generation of Food Bank leaders.
John and Pam, your dedication
to improving the well-being of
our neighbors who face hunger
is truly inspiring. We can’t say
thank you enough for the many
ways you have supported hunger
relief in North Texas – past,
present and future.
