FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DALLAS – MARCH 4, 2021 – Catholic Charities Dallas (CCD), in collaboration with Dallas Love Field, North Texas Food Bank, and Hope Supply Company, will be serving more than 1000 families by providing over 50,000 meals and diapers to needy families in and around Dallas. The event will be hosted at Love Connection Parking Lot (6814 Harry Hines Blvd. Dallas, TX 75235) from 11am to 3pm on March 12th, 2021.
Catholic Charities Dallas distributed more than 6 million meals last year and is planning to significantly exceed that number in 2021 due to having added two additional trucks to the fleet; doubling its capacity to deliver food to the communities in need.
“Our goal is to augment our daily efforts with large-scale food distribution events that create a meaningful impact in the shortest amount of time,” said Dave Woodyard, President/CEO of Catholic Charities. “On top of the already challenging pandemic, the winter storm in February created long-lasting hardships for millions of families. Catholic Charities and its incredibly supportive partners are responding to provide relief and support to those struggling the most.”
