The State Fair of Texas kicks off on Friday, September 29 and once again will partner with the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) to collect food donations to benefit neighbors facing hunger across North Texas.
“The State Fair of Texas team has proudly partnered with the North Texas Food Bank since 2010 to help collect more than 3.3 million pounds of canned food items through the Feed the Need food drive,” said Jennifer Schuder, Senior Vice President of Marketing for the State Fair of Texas. “Together last year we collected approximately 280,000 pounds of canned items, which equates to more than 230,000 meals. It continues to be an honor to provide the community an opportunity to help our neighbors in need while also providing a costeffective entrance to all the fun you will find at the State Fair of Texas.”
The State Fair of Texas offers many ways for the community to make a difference and get involved while visiting Big Tex with discounted admission via a food donation drive and countless volunteer opportunities.
