You're invited to join us as we work together to make a meaningful impact in our Community!
As the new school year approaches, many families are working hard to prepare their kids for success in the classroom. But with rising food costs and back-to-school expenses piling up, some parents are facing difficult choices between groceries, supplies, and other essentials.
The Tarrant Area Food Bank is partnering with local organizations to host a Back-to-School Mobile Market at Friendship Baptist Church of The Colony, serving up to 1,000 families with fresh food and community resources before the school year begins.
Volunteers play a key role in making this event possible. During this shift, volunteers will help stage food, direct vehicles through the distribution line, and place food into cars as families drive through the event.
Without volunteers, events like this simply can’t happen. But when our community shows up to serve, the impact is incredible.
In just a few hours, you can help ensure families head into the school year with food on the table and the support of a caring community.
Join us and help give families a strong start to the school year. Sign up today to serve!
