Last Wednesday, Neiman Marcus revealed their annual Christmas Book, filled with lavish gifts that majority of us couldn't even afford to DREAM about.
On the flipside, last Friday, the Tarrant Area Food Bank launched their first-ever gift catalog of their own, called "Holidays of Hope."
The catalog features items like "Fill a Fridge," and "Give Growth" which will buy seeds for community gardens.
TAFB Chief Development & External Affairs Officer Stephen Raeside tells NBC DFW that inflation is "biting hard," and though the food bank is still able to distribute a million meals a week, Raeside says there isn't as much surplus in the food chain right now, which means the TAFB has had to purchase food at "unprecedented levels."
The food bank is currently spending $1.3 million a month that wasn't budgeted to keep shelves stocked, and Raeside says it's just not sustainable.
"It's not sustainable for many more months," he says, "so we're asking all our supporters from Fort Worth and beyond to please step up...ensure that all our hungry families have a fantastic holiday."
