Stock Up for Summer

Dallas Stars Foundation 10 Tons Food Drive Challenge

Host a Food Drive
We are always in need of supporters to conduct a food drive to help stock our Food Pantry,  especially during the summer months. This activity is great for families, schools, churches, corporations, scout troops, and organizations large and small. A list of needs is available on request.

Need

THE NEED

During these unprecedented times, our families have been hit hard – job losses, food shortage, sickness, and the loss of educational opportunities.
Learn more

Our families come to Wilkinson Center dispirited and in crisis mode, seeking assistance with food, rent, utilities, transportation, and more. Many come to us looking for hope. Our Food Pantry, the hub for our services, is located in southeast Dallas, an area that is a food desert. We continue to experience high demand at our Food Pantry. Seniors, who are most at risk, are homebound and unable to travel to the pantry for food. Adult education students, who are working hard to establish a brighter future for themselves are shut out of their classrooms.
Response

OUR RESPONSE

We quickly adapted to the situation to remain open on the frontlines and continuing services to our families.
