The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) provides access to more than 190,000 meals each day for hungry children, seniors, and families across a 13-county service area. In 2017, NTFB and its feeding network provided access to almost 70 million meals. To combat increasing food insecurity in North Texas, the Food Bank recently launched a 10-year plan to provide access to 92 million nutritious meals annually by 2025. NTFB is a member of Feeding America, a national hunger relief organization.
There a variety of ways to get involved wtih NTFB, from working at the community pantry or distribution center to helping NTFB's nutrition services programs by teaching a Cooking Matters class, distributing food assistance materials, or translating nutrition workshops.

NTFB's annual Empty Bowls event raises both funds and awareness for the organization. In addition to soup and other bowl-friendly fare from over 20 North Texas restaurants, attendees can select a handcrafted bowl from some of Texas’ finest artists as a memento of the day.
