WHAT WE DO:
The NTFB, a nonprofit center for food distribution, is a partner of America’s Second Harvest and was recognized as 2001 Food Bank of the Year. The Food Bank procures donated surplus food and transfers it in usable quantities through nine programs to over 400 Member Agencies in 13 North Texas counties including Kids Cafes, after-school programs, residential treatment programs, food pantries, emergency shelters, soup kitchens, senior citizen centers, low-income daycare centers and other social service centers.
Member Agencies are located in Dallas, Denton, Collin, Fannin, Rockwall, Hunt, Grayson, Kaufman, Ellis, Navarro, Lamar, Delta and Hopkins counties that cover 9,400 square miles. Approximately 3 million people live in this service area. Approximately 377,600 (13%) of the population in the Food Bank’s service area live below the poverty level. More than 164,000 (43%) of these are children under 18. Forty-six percent of households with hungry children are considered the “working poor” as at least one adult in the household is employed.
