Market Street launches U Can Share fundraising campaign
FRISCO, Texas — On Friday, Market Street kicked off its annual U Can Share fundraising campaign to support the North Texas Food Bank and Tarrant Area Food Bank this holiday season. The campaign will run November 28 through December 12.
Guests will have the opportunity to donate by adding any dollar amount to their grocery bill at checkout. All funds will support the North Texas Food Bank and Tarrant Area Food Bank as they provide food to those experiencing food insecurity.
“We are thrilled to launch this annual campaign to support the work of our local food banks,” said Robert Bollinger, regional vice president for The United Family. “This fundraiser allows our community to support neighbors who need assistance with food insecurity this holiday season and throughout the year. We can’t say enough about the NTFB and the TAFB for the work they do in this community.”
The Tarrant Area Food Bank serves 13 surrounding communities with 62 million nutritious meals a year, according to their website. The TAFB believes access to healthy food is a basic human right and they work each day to make that a reality. North Texas Food Bank serves 12 counties in the region with 116 million physical meals provided during the last fiscal year. Since 1982, the NTFB has worked toward a vision of a hunger-free and healthy North Texas community.
