Nearly Half a Million Meals Raised by FB Society North Texas Restaurants in One Month
FB Society donates $148,000 to North Texas Food Bank following the inaugural “Food Bank February” campaign.
What started as a month of dining for good has delivered a major win for North Texans facing hunger.
FB Society, the Dallas-based multi-brand restaurant group, announced the results of its inaugural Food Bank February campaign on March 31, donating more than $148,000 to North Texas Food Bank. The campaign, which ran throughout February across 16 FB Society restaurants and Legacy Hall, translates to an estimated 446,000 meals for North Texans facing hunger.
Food Bank February directed 10% of net Tuesday sales at each participating location to NTFB throughout the month. Guests also had the opportunity to add personal donations to their checks, with every dollar given providing three meals to those experiencing hunger. The campaign engaged the below participating locations, mobilizing teams across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex around a shared mission.
- Sixty Vines in Plano and Dallas
- Whiskey Cake locations in Las Colinas, Plano and Fort Worth
- Haywire in Dallas and Plano
- Mexican Sugar locations in Addison, Plano, Dallas and Las Colinas
- Ida Claire in Addison
- The Ranch at Las Colinas
- Son of a Butcher locations in Dallas, Grapevine and Fort Worth
- Legacy Food Hall in Plano
“We’re proud of what this team built in year one, and grateful to every guest who joined us in supporting North Texas Food Bank,” said Jack Gibbons, CEO of FB Society. “From the beginning, this was about more than a campaign. It was about showing up for the community we call home. Hunger is a real and urgent challenge in our own backyard, and Food Bank February gave us a way to make a big impact together.”
Trisha Cunningham, NTFB President and CEO, said this gift helps close the gap for the 1 in 6 North Texans who don’t always know where their next meal will come from.
“We could not do what we do in the fight against hunger without the support of people and corporations like you and we are so thankful for your partnership,” she said. “Thank you. We are deeply grateful for the work you all put into this campaign and for your trust in us to steward these funds as we and our partners address urgent needs in our community.”
