This year the Dash Down Greenville will again benefit the North Texas Food Bank, whose mission is to "passionately pursues a hunger-free community". Since it was founded in 1982, the NTFB has distributed 362 million pounds of food across our 13-county service area, which includes Dallas, Denton, Collin, Fannin, Rockwall, Hunt, Grayson, Kaufman, Ellis, Navarro, Lamar, Delta and Hopkins counties. Each month last year, member agency pantries distributed food to more than 43,000 families, and on-site meal programs served more than 410,000 meals and snacks. The recepients of the donations include after-school programs, residential treatment programs, food pantries, emergency shelters, soup kitchens, senior citizen centers and low-income daycare centers.
