North Texas Food Bank

The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) is a nonprofit hunger-relief organization working to close the hunger gap in North Texas by providing access to nutritious food. Its service area covers 12 counties and about 9,200 square miles.

The food bank reports that one in six North Texans, or roughly 796,000 people, are food insecure. In its 2026 fiscal year it provided 119 million meals. Most of that food reaches families through a network of partner agencies, including food pantries, churches, schools and community organizations, rather than directly from the food bank.

Neighbors who need help can use the food bank’s website to find a nearby pantry, check the mobile pantry schedule, or get information about SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. Its partner network also supports veterans and other neighbors on limited incomes.

The North Texas Food Bank depends on donations, food drives and volunteers. Each year it holds seasonal giving campaigns, such as its Thanksgiving drive, and it recognizes community partners at its annual Golden Fork Awards. Its administrative offices are on Mapleshade Lane in Plano, and the main number is (214) 330-1396.
