Witherite Law Group and 1-800-TruckWreck are donating $20,000 to support the annual Christmas Food and Toy Giveaway hosted by Minnie’s Food Pantry, a nonprofit organization providing healthy meals and educational resources to children and families in need. Witherite Law Group’s donation will feed 548 Families and serve 1,814 kids. Each year, Minnie’s Food Pantry works to ensure Dallas-Fort Worth-area families have a plentiful holiday season. This includes fulfilling the Christmas wish lists of thousands of children and providing holiday meals – complete with turkeys, hams, side dishes and condiments.
Witherite Law Group’s donation will help fund this year’s event, which will take place from 7 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Dec. 21, at Minnie’s Food Pantry, 661 18th St., Plano, TX 75074. The event is free and open to the public. Registration is not required. Food and gifts will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
“Holiday season is a time for giving, and nothing is more valuable than the reactions we get from the families and children we serve at this event,” said Amy Witherite, owner of Witherite Law Group and 1-800-TruckWreck. “We’ve been sponsoring Minnie’s Food Pantry since 2018 and have partnered with them for this Christmas event for the past four years to provide food and gifts to our neighbors, and we look forward to continuing the tradition.”
The North Texas Food Bank’s service area ranks as the nation’s fourth-largest area of food insecurity, with approximately 777,690, or 1 in 8 people, facing food insecurity daily. The primary cause of food insecurity is low income, and more than 360,000 Dallas County residents live in poverty, approximately 136,600 of whom are children. Strained incomes may force families to sacrifice food supply for other necessities. Witherite Law Group and its partners are committed to serving the community and ensuring those impacted by economic circumstances can have a healthy meal and gifts this holiday season.
In addition to this holiday event, Witherite Law Group also supported the annual Senior Citizen Christmas Bash hosted by Minnie’s Food Pantry on Monday, Dec. 16, where catered meals, gifts and raffle prizes were provided to approximately 70 local senior citizens across four senior living facilities.
