The North Texas Food Bank just got a lot of help with their efforts to feed the hungry. The food bank received a $10.5 million donation from the Perot family.

A portion of the money is earmarked to support the food bank’s annual operating expenses, but the majority of the money is going to the Feeding North Texas Foundation — which works with a network of partner agencies that help feed the hungry across North Texas.“The pandemic both exposed and amplified food insecurity in our region. So, in response to that the North Texas Food Bank launched the Nourish North Texas Vision.

The multi-million dollar donation is one of the largest contributions in the food bank’s 40-year history.This isn’t the first major contribution made to the NTFB by the Perot family. In 2018, the food bank opened the Perot Family Campus – a facility that houses food distribution, volunteer operations, office space and a community learning garden. The campus was named in honor of the Perot family for their lead gift to the Stop Hunger, Build Hope capital campaign.
