EVENTS
BY THE NUMBERS
It was a record-breaking year for the North Texas Food
Bank’s annual events. We held the 3rd annual HARVEST event
where guests enjoyed food stations from Dallas’ top chefs
and restaurants, while benefiting NTFB’s child and seniors
programs. In its 18th year, the Empty Bowls event, sponsored
by Kroger, combined artisans of handmade bowls, food and
music. Taste of the Cowboys was held for the first year at
The Star in Frisco and benefited NTFB’s child programs. The
evening featured past and present Dallas Cowboys players,
gourmet tailgate food stations and live music.
