NBC5 is committed to fighting hunger in North Texas, and the effort includes raising awareness about food insecurity and how it easy it can be to help.
Those who opt for the pack and box opportunity work together in an assembly line to package the boxes and bags of food that are distributed to more than 400 food pantries and community organizations in 13 counties."My wife was food insecure for six years after her dad died when she was young, up until she was able to get a job and help provide money for food for herself and others," said volunteer Mike Higgins.
Higgins worked for a company provided five million meals to various food banks across the country. Once he retired, he started volunteering with North Texas Food Bank a few times a week.
