Food Assistance Resources
Texas is one of the most food-insecure states in the nation. That’s why amid the pause in funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), it’s more important than ever for our North Texas community to mobilize to provide nutritious food to our neighbors in need.
Here’s a list of vetted resources to find free meals and food resources in North Texas:
