  • 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Within These Pages You’Ll Find Examples of the North Texas Food Bank Mission in Action
    FILLING TABLES A Member of Feeding America Improving lives 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Within these pages you’ll find examples of the North Texas Food Bank mission in action. Our passion for ending hunger can only be fulfilled with your support, and we’re so thankful that you partnered with us to make some 62 million meals available for hungry children, seniors, and working families in Fiscal Year 2014. A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR It’s all thanks to you. Friends, As we close the books on the final year of the ReThink Hunger campaign, the North Texas Food Bank board is celebrating many wonderful accomplishments — most importantly, providing access to some 62 million nutritious meals for hungry North Texans. Through your financial support, volunteer efforts and advocacy, we achieved this important milestone. Thank you! Each day, the team at NTFB provides access to 170,000 meals for hungry children, seniors and families through a network of more than 1,000 programs and 262 Partner Agencies. While this figure is significant, we know that more work needs to be done, as 250,000 meals are needed daily to feed our hungry neighbors. Each year our supporters rise to the challenge and help us provide food for more than 439,000 food-insecure individuals who reside in our 13-county service area. This year was no different. As you flip through the pages of this annual report, you will read about the programs that NTFB has established to provide food and hope to our community, and you will also see the individuals, corporations, organizations and faith communities that brought food, funds and other support to our mission.

The CCSRC is composed of nine total members, with one appointed by each Councilmember with a formal or informal background of the history and geography of New Orleans. Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the City Planning Commission appointed the remaining two members. The Commission was charged with several key responsibilities, which included conducting a thorough research and public engagement process to develop a comprehensive set of renaming recommendations for streets, parks, and places across the city. In the course of auditing the list of City streets beyond those initially identified by the New Orleans Public Library, the Commission consulted a panel of experts to provide an additional set of names, which was used to formulate the recommendations listed in this report.

During the press conference, Edwards, who served as governor for four terms (1972, 1976, 1984 and 1992) --more than any other Louisiana governor reflected on his lifetime of political service as well as his excitement about his birthday celebration. He also took the occasion to introduce his new wife, Trina Edwards (Trina Grimes Scott). Edwards and Scott were married yesterday by Chief Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court Catherine D. Kimball at a private ceremony at the Hotel Monteleone. According to Edwards, “This evening is such a joyous occasion for me and one I have looked forward to for many months. What better way to celebrate a new marriage and 84 years than being surrounded by those who have played such an important role in my political career as well as by those lifelong friends who have supported me in every stage of my life? “I am truly fortunate to begin the next chapter in my life in such a positive and caring environment, and want to thank everyone who made this evening possible.” The birthday dinner, which was organized by Edwards’ brother Marion Edwards and his wife Penny Meaux Edwards, along with longtime family friend and event planner Jennifer Scialdone Leblanc, was held at the 125-year-old Hotel Monteleone.
