Soldiers’ Angels Military and Veteran Food Distribution
Soldiers’ Angels is joined by Origin Bank, in partnership with North Texas Food Bank, for its Nov. 10 Military and Veteran Food Distribution event in Dallas. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, nearly 100,000 military Veterans reside in Dallas County. Registration is now open at SoldiersAngels.org/Dallas. The food distribution is open to Veterans and active duty Service Members, Guardsmen, and Reservists. Low-income Service Members and Veterans in need of food assistance must pre-register each month for a time slot to attend the distribution.
Soldiers’ Angels is a national nonprofit that provides more food exclusively to Veterans than any other organization in America. In October, Soldiers’ Angels doubled its capacity for the monthly Dallas Military and Veteran Food Distribution events to 200 pre-registered, low-income, Military-connected families. Each pre-registered Veteran or Service Member will receive, on average, 75 lbs. of fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, and non-perishables.
Now in its eighth year, Soldiers’ Angels’ monthly food distributions have gone beyond Veterans to also include active duty Service Members, Guardsmen, and Reservists in need of support. Veterans are not the only military-connected people in need of food support. Researchers determined that active duty Service Members and their families have a higher rate of food insecurity than their civilian counterparts. 25.8% of Service Members reported as food insecure in 2018, compared to only 9% of civilians.
Veterans, Service Members, Guardsmen, and Reservists must pre-register at SoldiersAngels.org/Dallas. The food distribution will be from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 5004 Bonnie View Road in Dallas.
