Feeding Fannin was started in April 2018 and partnered with North Texas Food Bank Mobile Pantry to bring fresh produce to underserved residents. Monthly they began coming to Fannin County. As word spread more and more households came to pick up food. We started having cooking lessons, giving out healthy recipes and building a relationship with our community. In March of this year our plans to expand were rearranged as COVID-19 struck, jobs were lost, price of groceries increased and lack of some food was prevalent in this rural area. We began having weekly dinners, increased our food distributions as was possible and delivering to those in the community who could not come to us. From that we have grown and recently started doing resource fairs that we intend to expand. We have started working with agricultural programs to design and implement community gardens. We would like to bring this resource into the schools when they are again fully opened.
Our Needs
Small laptop for registrations and bookkeeping. Dollies for food distributions. Strong volunteers to help with unloading trucks! Funds for food and gas fees.
Mission
Feeding Fannin is a non-profit organization seeking to promote healthy lifestyle through good nutrition. We partner with North Texas Food Bank and other agencies to bring produce and staples to a rural community in need. We are working in the community to encourage community gardens, fresh foods and proper cooking. We are members of the community, reaching out to our neighbors to find seniors, families and other individuals who may not have enough food in a time of crisis. Through food distributions, resource fairs and community dinners, we hope to help anyone in need of food in Fannin County.
Needs
We are in need of more tables for distributions, funds for supplies, bags, markers and other needs at distributions. Dollies for moving boxes. T-shirts for volunteers. Emergency funds for bad weather occasions. Funds to help school programs such as 4-H, FFA and others. Small laptop for intakes. Volunteers!!
