Join the Fight Against Hunger: Support Hunt County Food Banks!
Help our local food banks by bringing food or personal hygiene products to each meeting.
The Hunt County Democratic Party is making a concerted effort to support local food banks impacted by inflation, high food prices, and the Trump Tarriff tax on imported products.
According to the North Texas Food Bank, Texas is the hungriest state in the U.S., with over 744,000 North Texans experiencing food insecurity.
A recent Dallas Morning News article published on July 22, 2025, by journalist Mel Fronczek, said “Food insecurity is defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as the lack of consistent access to adequate, safe, nutritious food, or the inability to obtain food in socially acceptable ways.
Common reasons for food insecurity are poverty, lack of affordable housing and race-based discrimination, according to Feeding America. Child hunger can lead to increased health problems, developmental differences, poor academic performance and more adverse outcomes. The organization Feeding America provides nationwide data on food insecurity, and the most recent data publicly available is for 2023.
According to that data, Texas was tied with Alabama at No. 5 for states with the highest share of food-insecure children. Their rates were 22.2%, which was almost two percentage points below the states at the No. 1 spot (Arkansas and Oklahoma).
That amounts to nearly 1.7 million Texas children experiencing food insecurity.”
Food banks typically need a variety of non-perishable food items and personal hygiene products. Here are some commonly requested items:
Food Items
• Canned goods: Vegetables, fruits, soups, and meats. Pop tops are preferred.
• Dry goods: Pasta, rice, beans, and cereals.
• Nut butters: Peanut butter or almond butter.
• Shelf-stable milk: Powdered milk or boxed milk.
• Snacks: Granola bars, nuts, and dried fruits.
Personal Hygiene Products
• Toiletries: Toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, and shampoo.
• Feminine hygiene products: Pads and tampons.
• Baby products: Diapers, baby wipes, and baby formula.
• Cleaning supplies: Laundry detergent and disinfectant wipes.
