Donate Food
Our mission at the North Texas Food Bank is to create a hunger-free, healthy North Texas and we can’t do it without your help. We aim to provide access to nutritious meals to children, families, and seniors facing hunger in our 13-county service area (Dallas, Denton, Collin, Fannin, Rockwall, Hunt, Grayson, Kaufman, Ellis, Navarro, Lamar, Delta, Hopkins). The pandemic and inflation have shown us that food insecurity can suddenly affect many individuals from all walks of life and the need for food assistance continues to grow.
Help us meet the needs of North Texans by donating food from one of the ways listed below.
Quick Food Drive Donation Information
The Peanut Butter Drive is making a comeback this year with a two-pronged goal. Our aim is to gather 125,000 pounds of peanut butter for immediate distribution in the community and to raise $275,000 to purchase peanut butter throughout the year. We can't do this alone, and we need your help! We're calling on participants and cities from all 13 counties in the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) service area to join us in achieving this ambitious target.
Every year, millions of pounds of food go to waste at all stages of the supply chain. The North Texas Food Bank rescues food and gets it to the hungry families in our community.

Donations for Court-Ordered Community Service
Donating food or money to the North Texas Food Bank in place of community service hours is offered through the court/probation system. It is up to your individual probation office/court to approve this option and to determine the equivalency between a donation of food/money and the correct number of community service hours.
NTFB does not have any knowledge or influence over this amount. All donations must be made in person at our Perot Family Campus in Plano.
Food Donation Requirements
If your court/parole officer or other community service contact has approved food donations in place of community service hours, you must make your donation in person, at our Perot Family Campus' HEB Canned Food Drop Off door. An NTFB staff member or volunteer will assist you and provide a receipt of your donation.
Monetary Donation Requirements
If your court/parole officer or other community service contact has approved monetary donations in place of community service hours, you must make your donation with cash or money orders in person. Checks and debit or credit cards are not accepted. Bring your cash or money order donation to the receptionist in the lobby of our Perot Family Campus and they will provide a receipt for your donation.
