With the annual DFW Restaurant Week benefiting the North Texas Food Bank and the Lena Pope Home just a few weeks away, the NTFB is getting an early treat. Dean Foods Foundation is presenting a check for $125,000 Wednesday morning to NTFB.
The hand-off will take place at The Wilkinson Center, which is part of the Christmas in July celebration. In addition to the check, Oak Farms will “be donating 325 half-gallons of their DairyPure® brand milk and will be distributing it to the clients served at The Wilkinson Center during a morning volunteer shift.”
Don’t you just know that NTFB newbie CEO Trisha Cunningham, whose first day was Monday, is gonna think this happens every day. One only wishes!

Jeanne, if only I could accept a check of this magnitude every day, we would certainly be closing in on ending the hunger gap in North Texas! At the Food Bank, we always say “Remember, one meal makes a difference,” so we happily accept all the all the help we can get! Thanks for raising awareness of this issue through MySweetCharity.
