This summer, Comerica Bank is helping ensure families across North Texas continue to receive food and essential resources through its support of the “Hunger Doesn’t Take a Vacation” campaign with Midwest Food Bank Texas.
While school may be out for the summer, hunger is not. Thousands of children and families experience increased food insecurity during the summer months when school meal programs are unavailable. Through this partnership, Comerica Bank is helping Midwest Food Bank bridge that gap by providing critical support that will help distribute nutritious food and household essentials to nonprofit partners serving communities throughout the region.
With the help of five resolute volunteers contributing a combined 25 hours of service, Midwest Food Bank assembled 300 food boxes weighing approximately 10 pounds each. Every box was carefully packed to provide relief for families, navigating food insecurity while school meal programs are unavailable.
While the boxes are not intended to feed a family for the entire summer, they are designed to help bridge the gap during a critical time. Midwest Food Bank plans to continue creating and distributing more food boxes throughout the summer season as resources become available. The food boxes will be distributed through Midwest Food Bank’s agency partners as well as directly through local schools, helping ensure families receive support through trusted community connections.
“We are grateful for Comerica Bank’s partnership and commitment to serving our neighbors in need,” said Sam Thompson, Executive Director. “Their support helps provide hope and nourishment to thousands of individuals during the summer season.”
This summer, Midwest Food Bank Texas Division invites the community to help continue the fight against hunger. Donations and sponsorships can help provide more food boxes to families in need and allow even more surplus food to be rescued and redirected to children and families across North Texas.
