The North Texas Food Bank, along with the University of North Texas at Dallas and Tom Thumb / Albertsons, will provide nourishing food to community members in need through a public event on Saturday, Nov. 12, 2022.
The holiday food distribution is at the UNT Dallas Campus (7300 University Hills Blvd. in Southern Dallas) from 9 a.m. to noon.
Each family will receive approximately 60 lbs. of fresh groceries at the mobile food distribution, including a Thanksgiving turkey for the first 250 families, thanks to Tom Thumb / Albertsons.
The food distribution is one of more than 50 holiday food distributions supported by the NTFB during the month of November to provide food to the nearly 700,000 people facing hunger across the NTFB’s 13-county service territory.
This includes more than 250,000 children, or one in every five in the region, giving the NTFB service area the 4th highest level of food-insecure children in the country.
KRLD's John Liddle talked to Eronia King, project coordinator of experiential learning at UNT Dallas, about Saturday's event.
