Vision Communities free of hunger.
Our Mission - To eliminate hunger in Fort Worth and 13 surrounding counties by providing food, educationand other resources to a network of partner agencies and their communities.Who We AreFounded in December 1981, we are the distribution hub of a 13-county network of hunger-relief charities and social services centers. This network operates in Tarrant and 12 neighboring counties on the west side of the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. As a North Texas food bank serving more than Tarrant County, our name is Tarrant AREA Food Bank. As a not-for-profit 501(c)(3), Tarrant Area Food Bank receives fresh, frozen and nonperishable food donated by the food industry and the community. From our 69, 000-plus square-foot warehouse in downtown Fort Worth, we distribute this donated product to our network that serves abuse victims, children, the elderly, the chronically ill, the unemployed, the working poor and other Texans in need.Our Affiliations Not to be confused with other food banks in Fort Worth, Tarrant Area Food Bank is a member of Feeding America (formerly known as America's Second Harvest?The Nation's Food Bank Network). This national network of more than 200 nonprofit food banks serves all 50 states. We also belong to the Texas Food Bank Network, which coordinates sharing of food donations and other resources among the 18 member food banks. Our HistoryTarrant Area Food Bank began distributing food in October 1982 and by the end of that year had distributed donated food to 50 charities in Fort Worth. Today, we are a regional clearinghouse for donated food and household products distributed to a network of 300 hunger-relief agencies in 13 counties. Since 1982, with the help of thousands of volunteers, Tarrant Area Food Bank has distributed more than 244 million pounds of food and household products. In the late 1990s, we began implementing special programs to complement our food distribution program. We now offer nutrition education to individuals and families receiving food assistance, two different feeding programs for children and free culinary job training for low-income adults, as well as assistance to individuals and families in applying for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly called Food Stamps) and related benefits.For the community, we offer an interactive workshop on the reality of hunger, tours of our warehouse and guest speakers knowledgeable about local hunger and Tarrant Area Food Bank's mission and activities.
