North Texas Food Bank

The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) is a non-profit hunger relief organization established in 1982. Its core mission is to close the hunger gap in North Texas by providing access to nutritious food, with a vision of fostering a hunger-free and healthy North Texas. The organization's headquarters are located at the Perot Family Campus, 3677 Mapleshade Lane, Plano, Texas 75075.

NTFB's services primarily involve distributing donated, purchased, and prepared foods through an extensive network of nearly 500 Partner Agencies and Organizations across 12 to 13 North Texas counties, including Dallas, Denton, Collin, and others. Beyond general food distribution, the Food Bank operates specialized programs such as mobile pantries, child hunger initiatives like the Food 4 Kids backpack program and school pantries, senior feeding programs, and nutrition services. These efforts aim to serve children, seniors, and families facing food insecurity in the region.

As a prominent member of Feeding America, the national hunger-relief network, the North Texas Food Bank is ranked 8th nationally among Feeding America food banks based on distribution and holds a 4-Star Exceptional rating from Charity Navigator for its governance and financial stability. Trisha Cunningham serves as the President and CEO. In recent years, NTFB launched its five-year "Fulfilling Futures" initiative to address the root causes of hunger. The organization actively engages in fundraising events, such as "Taste at the Star," and has faced challenges from federal budget cuts and rising food costs, leading to increased demand for its services.
