Feed the Body

The Hunger Landscape in the Greater Dallas area is vast. The majority of the more than 280,000 children in the Greater Dallas area, facing hunger on a daily basis, live in the southern sector of our city. In the Dallas Independent School District, more than 87% of the children are eligible for lunch program assistance. Educators are discovering that many challenges in the classroom are related to hunger. FEED 3 is a joint project with the North Texas Food Planning Association to end the hunger crisis in North Texas. Feed the Body is a grass roots campaign that identifies and addresses daily hunger needs of impoverished neighborhoods in North Texas. This is accomplished on local levels in four ways.
