CENTER TABLE FALL HARVEST returns

Sponsored by The Mark Cuban Foundation, The Dirk Nowitzki Foundation and The Heroes Foundation, Center Table also will include several meal deliveries to senior citizens plus a December concert; in partnership with the North Texas Food Bank and McDonald’s Owner/Operators of North Texas

For a second year and just in time for the holidays, the Center Table Fall Harvest series – presented by The Mark Cuban Foundation, The Dirk Nowitzki Foundation and The Heroes Foundation – will kick off Friday, Nov. 12, from 9-11 a.m. at the Mark Cuban Heroes Basketball Center (1800 Bonnie View Rd, Dallas, TX 75216). In partnership with the North Texas Food Bank and McDonald’s Owner/Operators of North Texas, the drive-up event will offer free food boxes and turkey vouchers for 500 families. The second Center Table Fall Harvest drive-up event is slated for Friday, Dec. 17, from 9-11 a.m.

Both events are open to people who reside in the surrounding neighborhoods of the Mark Cuban Heroes Basketball Center including Cedar Crest, south Oak Cliff, southern Dallas County and Joppa. Pre-registration is NOT required.

Food boxes and turkey vouchers are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Volunteers from St. Mark’s School of Texas and staff from the Mark Cuban Heroes Basketball Center will wear masks and gloves and will practice social distancing.

In addition, as part of Center Table Fall Harvest, free chef-prepared meals will be delivered to senior citizens in the Center’s surrounding neighborhoods prior to Thanksgiving week and on select dates in December. (A limited number of meals will be delivered to a pre-selected group of senior citizens.) A Christmas lunch and concert is also planned in December for senior citizens and single parents.

Made by The Bearded Chef, the meal packs – customized to each individual’s preferences and dietary restrictions – include a turkey, two sides, dessert and tea.
