Our Mission

Fighting hunger and poverty with food, education, programs, and resources to families in a dignified, personal, and timely manner without zip code restrictions.

Our Vision

We aim to end hunger for North Texas families.

Feeding Families, Feeding Hope since 1982

Community Food Bank (CFB) is a high impact hunger relief organization and the largest food pantry in North Texas. We believe that providing food is about more than just a meal. It is about providing stability, dignity, and a comprehensive safety net for every family we serve.

From our nearly 42,000 square foot facility on Galvez Avenue, our professional team manages a massive logistics operation. This includes extensive warehouse, freezer, and cooler space to ensure the safe distribution of fresh, frozen, and nutritious food.

The “No Zip Code” Difference

We are one of the few organizations in the region with no zip code restrictions. We believe that hunger does not stop at a neighborhood line, and neither should help. Any individual or family in need is welcome at our doors with only a photo ID.

Professional Scale and Efficiency

While we are supported by over 35,000 annual volunteer hours, our daily operations are led by a dedicated professional staff. This expertise allows us to serve an average of 500 families every single day and distribute over 12 million pounds of food annually.

Our team manages complex partnerships with grocery distributors, retailers, and over 30 social service organizations to maximize every dollar and every pound of food donated.

A Holistic Approach to Hunger Relief

Hunger rarely exists in a vacuum. We address the root causes of poverty through a diverse range of specialized programs:

  • Rapid Food Distribution: Providing grocery boxes filled with meat, fresh produce, dairy, and shelf stable items.

  • Feeding Hope (Essentials): Distributing critical non food items that many families struggle to afford, including diapers, toiletries, and cleaning products.

  • Workforce and Training: Partnering with education and workforce programs to help neighbors build skills and achieve long term financial security.

  • Clothing Assistance: Meeting basic needs with dignity through the distribution of brand new clothing for both children and adults.

  • Pet Food Program: Ensuring every member of the family, including four legged ones, is fed and cared for.

  • Holiday Outreach: Creating connection and joy during the holidays, from feeding over 5,000 families at Thanksgiving to providing toys and festive meals at Christmas.

Rooted in Community

Founded in 1982 by local philanthropists, Community Food Bank has evolved from a small soup kitchen into a stable and sustainable pillar of the North Texas community. Under the leadership of CEO Regena Taylor and a committed Board of Directors, we maintain a Platinum Transparency rating from Candid. This ensures that every contribution is managed with the highest level of financial stewardship.

Help us continue our mission. Whether you donate funds, donate food, or volunteer your time, you are helping ensure that no one in our community faces hunger alone.
