built amongst our volunteers as they were given a chance to share an important part of their lives while giving back to the community.
Once again, we had a great turnout which was comprised of 27 different faith-based organizations. Our special appreciation goes out to several participants including the First Unitarian Church of Dallas, the North Texas Hindu Mandir, Order of the Eastern Star and Chase Oaks Church. These groups and many others showed an eagerness to share their faith as well as support our goal of creating a hunger free community in North Texas. The distribution of t-shirts and cookies created a fun experience that we expect will bring in a new pool of volunteers and donations. As in years past, the Full on Faith week event confirmed that the local faith-based community is a wonderful supporter of our mission here at NTFB.
