According to North Texas Food Bank President/CEO Jan Pruitt,
“This holiday season many kids are wishing for the latest toys under the Christmas tree. But others are just wishing for something much more basic: a meal. As we prepare for the joy and wonder of this special season, the North Texas Food Bank has a wish: support our second annual Holiday Giving Guide that benefits food-insecure children, working parents and seniors across our region.
By visiting the Holiday Giving Guide you may give a gift that will make an impact for our hungry neighbors. The Guide features four giving categories with choices for donation levels:
- Fund a Child — NTFB’s Food 4 Kids backpack program provides chronically hungry children with nourishing food for the weekend. Your readers’ gift of $200 will provide weekend meals for a child for an entire school year.
- Fund a Senior — NTFB’s Nourishing Neighbors program provides grocery delivery to homebound seniors. Give a senior the gift of doorstep food delivery for $211 for an entire year.
- Fund a Family — Provide a family with a holiday meal this season. A $30 donation will feed a family of four with a festive meal, complete with all of the trimmings.
- Fund Nutrition Education — The NTFB’s Cooking Matters program provides nutrition education, food budgeting and food safety tips for neighbors in need. A $400 donation will buy food for 15 participants for the six-week course.
Your gift, regardless of size will make a difference this season. Thank you for making the holidays more joyous for our neighbors in need.”
