Letter from Anurag Jain, Board Chair
Thank you for helping our neighbors thrive!
It is an honor to be part of the North Texas Food Bank Board of Directors. Thanks to our supporters
like you, we have a strong focus and determination to provide nourishing food to individuals within
our 13-county region who have the courage to seek help.
This past year, NTFB focused on revitalizing its feeding network through a 10-year plan to provide
access to 92 million meals annually by 2025, which includes a $55 million capital campaign. The
Stop Hunger Build Hope capital campaign was unveiled at the site of the Food Bank’s future
230,000-square-foot Northern Distribution Center in Plano. Chaired by Lifetime Board Member
John Beckert and his wife Pam. Stop Hunger, Build Hope is the largest capital campaign for a social
service organization in North Texas history!
As we look to the future, it is with the help of our dedicated donors, volunteers and partners that
we will continue to stretch our efforts even further. We have worked persistently to be resourceful and
compassionate in our focus of providing nutritious food to those in need in the counties we serve.
Together we can solve hunger in our community. Our past accomplishments and future goals would
not be possible without your commitment and diligent efforts. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Anurag Jain
Board Chair
