Corporate Gift:  Support the North Texas Food Bank’s (NTFB) ReThink Hunger initiative.  Every $1 donated to the NTFB provides 3 meals.  Highlight your company’s gift with a check presentation hosted at the Food Bank!

Naming Opportunities: As part of the NTFB’s new ReThink Hunger initiative, we have expanded to a second warehouse. The additional warehouse offers exciting, new naming opportunities, which will provide great visibility and recognition for corporate partners, as well as support the efforts of ReThink Hunger. This warehouse is helping us source, store, and distribute more nutritious items. Additionally, it has provided 25,000 square feet of freezer and chiller space, which is essential to the increased distribution of fresh produce and increasing our Retail Pickup Program.

Employee Giving Campaign: Raise awareness and funds for the NTFB by hosting an employee giving campaign at your place of business. We can provide you with our Employee Giving Campaign tool kit which includes fun and creative ideas to involve your employees and support hunger relief. This kit also contains templates for flyers, email blasts, posters, paycheck inserts, computer screen savers and certificates of appreciation.  Ask your employer to match all employee donations and double your impact!

Event Sponsorship:  Sponsorships provide companies with an opportunity to gain visibility in the community, reward employees, strengthen relationships with clients and make an impact in North Texas.  Here’s a snap shot of what’s coming up:

Serving U: Serving U is the North Texas Food Bank’s experience based teambuilding program. It incorporates teambuilding curriculum with facilitated sessions and uses working on the warehouse floor as a lab to help companies achieve their teambuilding goals and objectives. It’s mutually beneficial on several levels. And, we can customize it to suit your specific needs. There is a fee to participate, which helps NTFB feed hungry North Texans.  So, by participating in Serving U you are able to make a huge impact in two ways—financially and through service.

Sample Agenda

Food and Funds Drive:  Host a Virtual Food Drive in conjunction with your canned food drive to raise funds for the NTFB. The virtual food drive offers employees with an opportunity to make an impact from their desk. We’ll customize a web page with your company’s logo and send you a link to distribute to your employees where they can participate in an online shopping experience by clicking and dragging food icons into a grocery cart and then make a donation online.

Add some sizzle to your food and funds drive with competitions between departments or men vs. women to encourage participation and earn bragging rights!  Host a one-item food drive to make a bigger impact by highlighting one of the most needed items for the NTFB. These items include tuna, peanut butter, shelf-stable milk, chili, canned stews, fruit cups, peanut butter crackers, and canned vegetables. Sign up to host a canned or virtual food drive.

NTFB Volunteer Experience:  Designate one day out of the week for an employee volunteer experience at the NTFB. Warehouse opportunities are available Monday thru Saturday from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.-3:30 p.m. Volunteers help us with everything from sorting through food donations from retailers to assembling bags of foods for our Food 4 Kids backpack program.
