09 Feb THE CFO SUITE SPONSORS FIRST ANNUAL NTFB TELETHON IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WFAA PLUS THE ANNUAL TASTE OF THE COWBOYS EVENT

$50,000 Gift supports North Texas Food Bank’s vision to create a hunger-free, healthy North Texas

In response to the ongoing hunger crisis in North Texas, The CFO Suite donated $50,000 to the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB). This gift will support the Food Bank’s work to provide access to healthy foods across a diverse 13-county service area. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought multiple challenges to our community- from illnesses to job losses which have impacted many of our neighbors. To combat increased food insecurity, the North Texas Food Bank has partnered with WFAA to create Stand Against Hunger– a special telethon on March 30 – to help raise funds and awareness to battle food insecurity in our region. The CFO Suite is proud to be one of the first official sponsors for this event and is also donating funds in sponsorship of Taste of the Cowboys, the Food Bank’s annual fundraiser in partnership with the Dallas Cowboys.

This sponsorships will allow the food bank to provide access to 150,000 meals to North Texans in need. As the pandemic has raged on, the Food Bank has seen the needs increase for food assistance and has doubled their output to help feed as many people as possible.

The Food Bank team has worked to equip the NTFB Feeding Network of Partner Agencies with more food and resources to aid the community and has also facilitated more than 300 Mobile Pantry distributions since the start of the pandemic, serving more than 120,000 households.  All told, the NTFB and their Feeding Network have provided access to an astonishing 100 million meals since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“In our lifetimes, the need for food and support has never been greater,” said Brett Lawson, Founder and CEO of The CFO Suite. “We are proud to support the North Texas Food Bank as they work to provide more food and hope than ever before.  As we inch towards the one-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic, we hope that our gift to the NTFB will inspire others to take a stand against hunger via the upcoming telethon on March 30. Together we can help transform North Texas.”

“The CFO Suite team has created a culture of giving and philanthropy within their organization and this generous gift reflects their core tenet of people coming first,” said Erica Yaeger, Chief External Affairs Officer for the North Texas Food Bank. “As we worked to launch this exciting new telethon initiative, we were thrilled to learn that the CFO Suite would support this effort as well as our annual Dallas Cowboys event. Our team is grateful to have partners like the CFO Suite, their unwavering support will help us meet the need during one of the most difficult moments in our history.Follow / Like / Share us on LinkedIn
