NTFB announces Stop Hunger Build Hope campaign

The North Texas Food Bank unveiled its Stop Hunger Build Hope capital campaign at the site of its future 222,000-square Northern Distribution Center in Plano. The $55 million capital campaign, chaired by longtime NTFB supporters and Lifetime Board Member Pam and John Beckert, is funding the Food Bank's 10-year plan to close the current meal gap in North Texas by providing 92 million nutritious meals by 2025. The largest capital campaign for a social service organization in North Texas history, Stop Hunger Build Hope is the most ambitious yet for the Food Bank.

"North Texas is in the midst of a hunger crisis," said Tom Black, Chairman of the North Texas Food Bank Board of Directors. "We know that more than 800,000 people here in North Texas are food insecure. This Campaign has the power to transform our region, feeding the line while shortening the line and ensuring that every hungry neighbor has the food that they need. We know that providing healthy food has the power to change lives and we will honor the work and vision of our late leader Jan Pruitt by carrying out her dream for a hunger-free North Texas."
