What We Do

As a nonprofit distributor of surplus, donated food, we:

          Collect food donations from the community and rescue surplus food 

          from commercial food donors who, otherwise, would discard the

          surplus. We then transport the donated food to our warehouse for

          inspection and re-packing by community volunteers.

As an organization with the mission of eliminating hunger, we:

          Disseminate information on nutrition, food preparation and

          related topics to help recipients reap the greatest possible benefit from

          their food. (See Nutrition Education under SPECIAL PROGRAMS).

          Operate feeding programs for children in collaboration with

          established agencies. See our Food for Kids section to learn about our

          Kids Cafe and BackPacks for Kids programs.

          Offer Hunger 101 presentations and role-playing workshops to

          help participants experience what it's like to be chronically hungry and

          to deal with the challenges of obtaining food.

          Provide through our Community Kitchen, free culinary job training to

          low-income men and women and at the same time provide nutritious meals

          to Tarrant Area Food Bank’s Kids Cafes.
