You Are Invited to Our Grand Opening Event! NTFB unveils Perot Family Campus with free community picnic and open house. Be among the first to experience the North Texas Food Bank’s new home! Join us for a community picnic and open house from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on September 16. All ages are welcome! The North Texas Food Bank is excited to move our food distribution and volunteer operations to this new facility. This move will enable the Food Bank to achieve our strategic plan of providing 92 million meals to our hungry neighbors by 2025. Set on more than 13 acres near the intersection of President George Bush Turnpike and Coit Road, the North Texas Food Bank’s Northern Distribution Center is named the Perot Family Campus in honor of the family’s multi-generational commitment to hunger relief. This facility is centrally located within the Food Bank’s 13-county service area and will allow for more engagement with businesses, volunteers and donors. Together, we can continue to put nutritious food on the table for our neighbors in need. The 230,000-square-foot facility will house food distribution, volunteer operations, office space and a community learning garden. We are looking forward to welcoming you to this new space and celebrating an exciting milestone in our history. Enjoy food and family-friendly activities like lawn games, tours and more. We will also be collecting peanut butter for the Plano Peanut Butter Drive, so be sure to bring a jar or two! For more information and to obtain your FREE tickets, visit ntfb.org/grandopening. When You Donate Time and Money, Alliance Data Will Triple Your Gift! We are grateful for volunteers who lend their hearts and hands to our mission and are looking forward to you joining us at the Perot Family Campus. We have exciting news . . . Alliance Data will donate an additional $2 for every $1 donated by any NTFB volunteer, up to $150,000! That means gifts will be tripled; $1 will provide access to nine meals for our hungry neighbors in North Texas. We know our volunteers make an impact by donating their time and are grateful for their additional financial support. Physical Address: 3677 Mapleshade Lane Plano, TX 75075 P 214.330.1396 F 214.331.4104 As we work to close the hunger gap, it will take collaboration and the support of a caring community to make a difference for children, seniors and families in need. This match will run through September 2019, or until the $150,000 match total is met. Donations can be made onsite at the time of volunteering.
