Volunteers are invaluable to the Food Bank. Without the 60,000

unable to provide food to the hundreds of thousands of hungry
North Texans it currently serves.

On Friday, January 27th, 50 Interns from the Deloitte & Touche Dallas office made a 'productive visit' to the North Texas Food Bank. The group pushed up their sleeves and packed boxes full of food for distribution to the greater Dallas area.
