WHAT: While July 4th celebrations may be top of mind for North Texans, many are still reeling from the effects of last month’s storms. To help families in need, a Center Table Storm Relief drive-through food giveaway event will be held Monday (July 1) from 9-11 a.m. at the Texas Department of Public Safety Office in Garland. Free and open to the public, the mobile pantry event will provide food boxes for more than 500 families on a first-come, first-served basis. In partnership with the North Texas Food Bank and the Texas Department of Public Safety Office, the drive-up event is presented by The Mark Cuban Foundation, The Dirk Nowitzki Foundation, The Heroes Foundation and NFM (Nebraska Furniture Mart).
Registration is not required.
WHY: With inflation, rising credit card debt and last month’s damaging storms continue to take their toll on families, the need for food assistance remains high. The Mark Cuban Heroes Basketball Center launched Center Table in May 2020 to address the tough times many families have faced since the onset of the pandemic. Since then, Center Table events have provided more than 31,000 meals to families and house-holds.
WHEN: Monday, July 1, from 9-11 a.m.
WHERE: Texas Department of Public Safety Office 350 W IH-Service Rd. Garland, TX 75043
PARKING: Media parking is available in nearby lots.
