According to the latest Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap study, Texas leads the nation in food insecurity with 16.4%, or 5 million individuals, facing hunger – a significant increase from 13.7% in 2021. The North Texas Food Bank’s service area, specifically, ranks as the nation’s fourth-largest area of food insecurity with approximately 777,690, or 1 in 8 people, facing food insecurity daily. This increase is attributed to inflation, an increase in rent, rising insurance costs, the end of pandemic-era relief programs and high food prices. Witherite Law Group and its partners are committed to serving the community and ensuring those impacted by economic circumstances can have a healthy meal this holiday season.
“The urgency to support those in our city who cannot meet their daily food requirements is undeniable as the numbers don’t lie. We’ve doubled the number of families and the amount of food and groceries we’re offering this year to address this need and provide well-rounded, well-balanced meals for Thanksgiving,” said Amy Witherite, owner of Witherite Law Group and 1-800-TruckWreck. “We’re grateful for each of our partners who help us bring these giveaways to life and meet the needs of our community.”
Witherite Law Group and 1-800-TruckWreck are committed to being an integral part of the communities they serve, providing hope and opportunities to the people who need it most. Over the past 15 years, the firm has provided meals to thousands of North Texas families during the Thanksgiving holiday.
Do y’all distribute turkeys in Dallas?
I appreciate Witherite Law Group for thinking about the people in Ft Worth. With the high prices of food steady going up this will assure that many families will have a Thanksgiving meal. 🙏🏾❤️
