Area Grocery Retailers and the North Texas and Tarrant Area Food Banks
Team Up to Provide Food for Hurricane Ike Evacuees
The North Texas Food Bank in Dallas and the Tarrant Area Food Bank in Fort Worth are committed to helping their sister Food Banks in Houston and Beaumont as they try to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Ike. Tarrant Area and North Texas Food Bank will prepare and transport 4,000 family food boxes to Houston and Beaumont so families will have food when they are allowed to return home.
The Food Banks can’t do it alone; they need the public’s help. Kroger, Tom Thumb and Albertsons—all longtime and valued partners for both food banks– responded to the call for help.
The grocers will have pre-packed bags of needed items available for purchase at prices ranging from $5 to $20. Customers can purchase the bags at stores throughout the DFW area and can leave them in the store. The food drive will run from now through Oct. 12 at most stores.
Needed items are:
1. Fruit Juices
2. Canned Meats
3. Beef Stew
4. Chunk Light Tuna in Water
5. Pork and Beans
6. Canned Soup
7. Canned Vegetables
8. Canned Fruit
9. Spaghetti in Tomato Sauce
10. Dried Beans
11. Dried Rice
*No glass containers please.
The public can also drop off donations at both Food Banks.
North Texas Food Bank, 4500 S. Cockrell Hill Road, Dallas, TX 75038
Tarrant Area Food Bank, 2600 Cullen Street, Fort Worth, TX 76107
Monetary donations are also needed and can be made online at ntfb.org and tafb.org
