Multicultural
Ambassadors: Tarrant Area Food Bank
On February 7th, 2015,
the Tarleton Multicultural Ambassadors traveled to Fort Worth to donate their
time to the Tarrant Area Food Bank. These ten students sorted through donated
foods as quality control and packed boxes of food to be distributed throughout
twelve Texas counties. Among all households served by the Tarrant Area Food
Bank network, 52% must choose between food and utilities, and 39% must choose
between medical care and groceries (2014). The food bank provides meals for
whole families, helping to ease the struggles of those in need. The food bank
never does it alone, having volunteers multiple times a week for various hours
sorting, packing, and distributing food across Texas.
