NTFB Hosts Grand Opening of New Facility in Plano

The North Texas Food Bank officially unveiled its new Northern Distribution center, named the Perot Family Campus, at a special community event in Plano. This state-of-the-art facility is named in honor of the Perot family, recognizing their lead gift to the Food Bank’s Stop Hunger Build Hope capital campaign, showcasing the family’s multi-generational commitment to hunger relief. 

The 230,000-square-foot facility houses food distribution, volunteer operations, office space and a community learning garden, named Jan’s Garden, in memory of the Food Bank’s late CEO, Jan Pruitt. The new campus, along with key investments in the North Texas Food Bank’s Feeding Network that includes more than 200 food pantries, provides the capacity needed to close the hunger gap by providing access to 92 million nutritious meals annually by 2025.

The Perot Family Campus was made possible thanks to the generous support of many individuals, corporations, foundations and businesses that contributed to the Food Bank’s Stop Hunger Build Hope capital campaign as well as efforts from in-kind supporters who helped create a building that is both welcoming and functional. 
​
These details were showcased at the celebratory Grand Opening event on September 16, where almost 2,000 attendees joined to celebrate the new facility and the opportunities it holds. The event featured tours, family-friendly activities, and special dedications for named spaces within the building.
