End Child Hunger!
A dodgeball tourney benefiting Tarrant Area Food Bank. Registration details here.
EVENTS
STAMP OUT HUNGER!
We thank all who donated food at their mailboxes and all who purchased pre-sacked foods at Kroger for donation to STAMP OUT HUNGER!
Those Kroger donations have not yet arrived at TAFB, so the total poundage will increase beyond the 45,000 pounds that came to us on Saturday. (Last year, donations arriving the day of the food drive weighed in at over 200,000 pounds.)
