The Tarrant Area Food Bank has been holding mega food distributions since the start of the pandemic. Wednesday, it held its last one. While the mega mobile distributions will go away, the help in the community will continue in a different form.
As we've previously reported, the toll of inflation is hurting families' bottom line and that of the organizations that serve them.
As the mega distributions come to a close, the TAFB is going to direct families to hundreds of their neighborhood food pantries. The pandemic exposed just how fragile the financial situation was for hundreds of thousands of North Texas families. "We have served 200,000 families at those 100 distributions," Raeside said. "And that equates to 16 million pounds of nutritious food."
The food bank says inflation and supply chain issues made them go into their own pockets to continue to provide food in recent months. "I need the help, so when I come over here to pick up the food to help us and my family," he said. "Now, you need to spend a lot of money to buy groceries."
