Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO CLOSE THE HUNGER GAP IN NORTH TEXAS BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOOD.
IN MARCH OF 2020, NTFB QUICKLY ADAPTED TO MEET COVID19-INDUCED INCREASED NEED FOR FOOD AND NEW SAFETY PROTOCOLS TO PROTECT CLIENTS, DONORS AND STAFF.
IN FY20, NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK (NTFB) INCREASED FOOD DISTRIBUTION OVER 68% DRIVEN BY THE FOOD BANKS RESPONSE TO COVID19 AND THE SURGE IN FOOD INSECURITY. TO AUGMENT THE CAPACITY OF OUR PARTNER AGENCIES, NTFB INITIATED MEGA DISTRIBUTIONS AT VARIOUS COMMUNITY LOCATIONS OF BOXED PRODUCT (BOXED TO ALLOW FOR SAFE, DISTANCED DISTRIBUTION). GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS OF FOOD PRODUCTS, FUNDS AND VOLUNTEER SERVICE SUPPORT 14 PROGRAMS OF THE NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK. THESE PROGRAMS BENEFIT APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEEDING AND EDUCATION LOCATIONS IN 13 NORTH TEXAS COUNTIES, INCLUDING FOOD PANTRIES, SOUP KITCHENS, SHELTERS, AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS, SENIOR CITIZEN CENTERS, AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICE CENTERS. THESE AGENCIES RECEIVE FOOD FROM THE FOOD BANK AND DISTRIBUTE IT TO NORTH TEXANS IN NEED THROUGH THEIR PANTRY AND ON SITE MEAL PROGRAMS. NTFB PARTNERS WITH VARIOUS AGENCIES TO ALSO PROVIDE FOR MOBILE PANTRY DISTRIBUTIONS.
IN 2000, NTFB BECAME THE FIRST COMMODITY SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD PROGRAM (KNOWN LOCALLY AS PEOPLE AND NUTRITION, OR PAN) DISTRIBUTOR IN TEXAS. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES MONTHLY FOOD PACKAGES TO LOW-INCOME SENIOR CITIZENS WHO MEET CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS. EACH MONTH, ROUGHLY 8500 PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE AN ESTIMATED 32 POUNDS OF USDA COMMODITIES AT 100 PAN DISTRIBUTION SITES IN DALLAS, COLLIN, DENTON, ELLIS, FANNIN, GRAYSON, HOPKINS, HUNT, KAUFMAN AND LAMAR COUNTIES. PAN IS A PARTNERSHIP OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND NTFB.
THE FOOD 4 KIDS PROGRAM FEEDS HUNGRY STUDENTS WHEN THEY ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE ON THE WEEKENDS WHEN SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMS ARE CLOSED. FOOD 4 KIDS PROVIDES CHILDREN WITH BACKPACKS OF NUTRITIOUS FOOD EVERY FRIDAY THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR. EACH BACKPACK CONTAINS KID-FRIENDLY SNACKS CAREFULLY SELECTED BY OUR NUTRITION SERVICES MANAGER TO PROVIDE TWO-THIRDS OF A CHILD'S WEEKEND NUTRITIONAL NEEDS. IN THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR, FOOD 4 KIDS PROVIDED 8,061 CHILDREN WITH 226,450 BACKPACKS, THE EQUIVALENT OF 814,660 MEALS. AFTER PARTICIPATING IN FOOD FOR KIDS, CHILDREN IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY ON THESE MEASURES: EXHIBITED FEWER BEHAVIORS ASSOCIATED WITH FOOD INSECURITY, TALKED LESS FREQUENTLY ABOUT ISSUES RELATED TO FOOD INSECURITY, WERE JUDGED TO BE MORE EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY, AND PERFORMED BETTER ACADEMICALLY.
