Nihao Food Bank Recognized By The North Texas Food Bank

The North Texas Food Bank hosted an event at the Plano Perot Family Campus on November 5 to recognize the Nihao Food Bank Initiatives sponsorship of a food distribution truck through the holidays. The Nihao Food Bank Initiative has provided more than 550,000 meals over the last year.

A press release from the NTFB announced that the Nihao Food Bank Initiative was to be recognized for its outstanding work in the North Texas community with the recent peanut butter drive. Nihao was named the top community group for raising funds and collecting peanut butter. The organization raised $25,876 and donated over 5,000 pounds of peanut butter.

The Nihao Food Bank Initiative is a Chinese American, volunteer-driven grassroots movement, set to raise awareness about hunger in North Texas, improve community engagement among Chinese Americans and direct resources toward NTFB to fight hunger.

We are so grateful for the support of organizations like Nihao that recognize the growing issue of hunger and look for innovative ways to contribute to the organizations addressing this complex problem, NTFB President and CEO Trisha Cunningham said in an official statement. In just a short time they have made a significant impact in our mission of hunger relief and are mentoring the next generation of community leaders through their Youth Ambassadors program.

Food Assistance And Snap Faqs

A food bank is a non-profit that safely stores millions of pounds of food that will soon be delivered to local food programs, like a food pantry. The food stored by food banks is donated from local neighbors, retailers, grocery stores, and restaurants.

A food pantry is a distribution center where hungry families can receive food. Supplied with food from a food bank, pantries feed hundreds of people per week! Because every community is different, there are many different types of pantries.

NTFB works with a network of more than 200 Partner Agencies and provides access to food at more than 1,000 feeding locations in our service area. Partner Agencies include food pantries, after school programs, senior meal programs, shelters, soup kitchens, and other facilities.

The Social Services Assistance Team of the food bank is a Community Partner building a bridge between Health and Human Services and communities in our service area to provide access to food, cash, and healthcare assistance. While the SSA Team assists with the application process, we do not determine eligibility. HHSC processes the applications and determines eligibility and has up to 30 days to process your SNAP application.

If you would like assistance applying for SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, Texas Health Women, or the Medicare Savings Program, contact a SNAP Representative.

Stop Hunger Build Hope Capital Campaign

In 2015, the North Texas Food Bank announced a 10-year plan to provide access to 92 million meals annually by 2025. The goal reflects the current need for food assistance in NTFB’s 13-county service area and represents a nearly 50 percent increase in meals distributed today.

In February 2017, NTFB publicly launched the Stop Hunger Build Hope Capital Campaign to help fund a new Northern Distribution Center and other initiatives that will allow NTFB to reach the 92 million meal goal. In January 2018, the $55 million goal that would fund additional NTFB capacity, partner agency capacity and provide more insights about clients was achieved.

Giving Thanks This Holiday Season

As we head into Thanksgiving week and our 40th anniversary celebration year begins to wind down, the North Texas Food Bank has so much to be thankful for.

Most importantly, thank you to the neighbors we serve for bringing such meaning to the work we do by sharing your stories, your courage and your resilience with us.

Thank you to our volunteers, the hearts behind the hope. Without their commitment of time, energy and compassion, the Food Bank would not be able to provide nourishment and hope to the people we serve.

Thank you to the more than 400 food pantries and other community organizations that make up our Feeding Network. We are honored to work alongside our feeding partners to provide food for today and hope for tomorrow.

Thank you to our individual, corporate and foundation supporters, as well as the affinity groups, who fund our mission to bridge the hunger gap in North Texas. And thank you to our food donors and rescue partners whose generosity helps ensure we have nutritious food available for our neighbors.

Thank you to our local, state and federal elected officials who collaborate with us to protect and defend policies that seek to close the hunger gap at all levels.

Finally, thank you to the North Texas Food Banks staff members who work, often behind the scenes, to reach our vision of a healthy and hunger-free North Texas.
