FDIC-Insured – Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government
Texas Regional Bank (TRB) joined volunteers from across Denton County and the Dallas–Fort Worth area for the Rise Against Hunger Community Packathon, held mid-July at Trietsch Memorial United Methodist Church in Flower Mound.
The two-day event brought volunteers together to pack 300,000 meals to be sent to the Republic of Congo to feed school children, where one box of meals will feed a child for an entire school year. The packathon also included a canned-food drive benefiting Heart of the City in Lewisville and Freedom Food Pantry of Denton Freedom House.
The event was very well organized and there was a real sense of purpose in the room. I was proud of our team, who worked alongside neighbors from throughout the community in support of children facing hunger. It was an energizing day and a meaningful first experience with Rise Against Hunger. – Duke York, Region President, DFW-West
