Dear North Texas Food Bank Friends and Supporters:

Eating dinner together may feel routine for some families. Others find it challenging to get everyone together at the same time with such busy schedules. Either way, many of us take our meals for granted – it’s easy to do.

But there are thousands of North Texas families who don’t get to eat dinner together every night. In fact, they don’t get to eat dinner at all.

A USDA study released in October 2005 revealed that Texas leads the nation in the number of hungry families. An astonishing 1.3 million Texas households are food insecure, meaning these families don’t have adequate access to food resources during the year.

More North Texans need our help than ever before. These families need nutritious groceries from our Member Agency food pantries. Their children need healthy after-school snacks from our Kids Cafes. Their grandparents need nourishing meals from our Member Agency soup kitchens.

There is a great need. But the generosity of foundations, corporations and individuals like you ensure that we are one step closer to fulfilling this need. In 2006 the Food Bank was able to distribute an incredible 37 million pounds of food for hungry North Texans – a significant increase from last year.

The gracious support of friends like you truly make it possible to“Imagine...North Texas without Hunger.”

Thank you for being a part of this vision.

Sincerely,

Larry Lavine President disaster response  North Texas Food Bank Annual Report 2006
