Board of Directors
Dear Friend ,
As we reflect on the amazing life and legacy of our beloved leader and friend , Jan Pruitt , I ’ ve been deeply moved by your generosity in the face of this great loss to our community . Because of you , thousands of neighbors have relief in the form of nutritious meals . I can ’ t think of a better way to honor Jan ’ s memory . Thank you .
Jan believed the North Texas Food Bank existed to serve a very important purpose — to provide caring individuals like you the opportunity to serve those whose lives have been impacted by hunger . While two pages is not nearly enough to highlight the work you ’ ve made possible for this purpose , I invite you to take a look at pages 6 and 7 and honor Jan and her legacy with the North Texas Food Bank .
During these final weeks of winter , I ’ ve also been thinking about the needs of local seniors . Homebound and unseen by many , they are living on fixed incomes and having a hard time covering their expenses . These individuals would still be at risk of going hungry today were it not for friends like you .
Simon Powell Interim President & CEO
Remembering a Friend , Looking Toward the Future
Between Nourishing Neighbors , a special food distribution program made possible through your support , and traditional community pantries and feeding programs , older North Texas neighbors are able to access nourishing meals thanks to you .
In addition , we ’ re excited to share on page 7 , exciting news about the expansion of our hunger-relief efforts through an innovative capital campaign that will end with the construction of a brand-new facility in Plano — a vision that began with Jan ’ s deep desire to end hunger in North Texas .
In my short time as Interim President and CEO , I ’ ve come to learn more about the passion with which people like you serve our community . I can assure you that your gifts are not only appreciated but also truly transforming the lives of families and individuals across North Texas . Thank you .
