We averaged 476 families each month who relied on our pantry for grocery assistance. Across eight school districts, 6,000 students received backpack meals each month to help meet their nutritional needs outside of school hours. We supported 76 partner pantries across the DFW Metroplex, providing bulk groceries to ensure they could serve their own communities. These pantries collectively served approximately 54,300 individuals each month. Additionally, 1,800 families were assisted with hygiene products, and 500 individuals received new toothbrushes each month from our food bank. During the holidays, we held a Thanksgiving distribution where 500 families received complete holiday meals. For Christmas assistance, 100 families were provided a holiday meal, and 485 children/teens received both clothing and a toy. Nourishing hope and transforming lives to help families become independent is our mission as we walk alongside neighbors working to get back on their feet.
