Our Rapid Food Pantry Distribution Program, feeding hungry families directly from our food door, makes a substantial positive impact on our North Texas community. Individuals, families, seniors, veterans, the working poor, the homeless and now the newly unemployed all come to Community Food Bank.
Newly unemployed folks call apologetically, inquiring what they need to do to get food. We remind them they have probably donated to American Red Cross, United Way, or any number of charity organizations through the years. Their past giving paved the way for them to receive help during their time of need; our process is fast and easy!
As a food bank, we support 32 food pantries with our free surplus food. It enables partner pantries to stretch their budget.
Hunger and poverty are not the only problems our clients suffer from. We are a caring operation which supports other programs such as, Transitional Homes, Senior Employment Rehabilitation - S.E.R., Labor Detail, and Community Service Restitution. Other programs we support are Texas Workforce - Career Steps and Unique Hour, Transition2Work, OSHA Certified Forklift Training, Goodwill Summer Earn and Learn, F.W.I.S.D. LEAP Program, Texas Chisholm Trail Crime Prevention, and Tarrant County Sheriff Labor Detail. Select programs above actually pay volunteers to work here and get training!
We offer community referral services with Cornerstone Assistance Network, community news, nutritional information and access to a computer for folks to obtain Food Handler License.
We are experiencing an increase in the number of families needing help.
The media is reporting Food Banks will not be getting 500 million dollars' worth of Federal Assistance. As an independent grassroot food bank we never receive federal funding or USDA foods. There is so much competition for food sources, now is the time we need your help the most! Community Food Bank will use funds generated from North Texas Giving Day to help provide nutritious food for our hungry community in need.
Fighting hunger and poverty with food, education, programs, and resources to families in a dignified, personal, and timely manner without zip code restrictions. Our slogan is "Feeding Families, Feeding Hope!" We specialize in providing fresh and frozen meats, produce, dairy and desserts, good nutritious foods! "Feeding Hope" allows us to freely give clients, adult and child diapers, wipes, new clothing and shoes, hygiene products, small and large appliances. Larges appliances are a game changer, life changing and our available on a first come first serve basis. We are also unique because we feed our hungry clients 4 legged loved ones! Collaborations with Amazon, Good360, Hope Supply Company, Walmart Distribution Center, and others enable us to "Feed Hope!"
Hunger is real and it does not discriminate!
At the Community Food Bank, we are simply people serving people, and that means all people. We serve all individuals and families without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation or sexual identity.
