They are the children who sit next to your kids in class every day and go hungry every evening. They are the hard-working families in your neighborhood who struggle with the decision to pay bills or buy food. They are the seniors who live around the corner from you and quietly wonder where their next meal is coming from.

In North Texas there is a 29 million meal gap between what people need – 3 meals per day – and what they can currently access. The people affected are children, families, and seniors. They go to our schools, live in our neighborhoods, and work in our community.

Our objective is simple – to provide access to meals for those in need. By 2011, the Food Bank will unite the community to narrow the food gap by providing access to 50 million meals annually.

How can I help Close the Gap? There are many ways you can help close the gap on hunger. You can volunteer your time, host an E-Food & Fund Drive, donate ($1= 3 Meals), or simply be an advocate for NTFB.

Individually you can make a difference in someone’s life, and together we can successfully close the gap on hunger. To donate, or find out more information on how you can help, just click on the button below.
