WHAT: United Way National Day of Action- LIVE UNITED Food Drive

Each year on June 21st – the longest day of the year – United Ways across the country participate in a nationwide Day of Action. This year our National Day of Action activities will be held June 15th - 21st and will focus on the United Way impact area of INCOME – Promoting independence and financial stability.

WHY: To help stock community food pantries

Our local food pantries are reporting that demand is up for food pantry services and that families and individuals are asking for help who have never sought assistance before. June also marks the beginning of a season when many children do not have access to the nutritious meals often available during the school year. Families in North Texas struggle even harder during the summer to try to provide food for their children. Reports indicate that even though the demand is up, donations remain level or have decreased. Help is needed now more than ever!
