cannedfoodThe North Texas Food Bank serves 130,000 meals every day. That’s enough to feed the entire population of Frisco, but it doesn’t even meet half the demand. According to the food bank, nearly 300,000 meals per day are needed.

Donating money to the food bank is a good idea. One dollar can provide three meals.
