In a blend of excitement and anticipation, the Denton Community Food Center gears up for its inaugural participation in North Texas Giving Day, slated for September 19, 2024. This marvelous occasion marks a significant milestone for the center, known for its unwavering dedication to supporting individuals and families in need across the Denton area.


A Mission That Touches the Heart


Imagine a place where compassion and community spirit intertwine to create a haven for those facing food insecurity. The Denton Community Food Center embodies this vision, offering not just sustenance, but also a ray of hope to all who walk through its doors.


As the sun rises on the morning of September 19, 2024, volunteers, staff, and supporters of the food pantry will unite in a mission to raise awareness and funds for this vital cause. Through the spirit of giving, they aim to extend their impact to even more individuals who rely on the center for essential food assistance.


A Personal Touch: Stories from the Heart


Amidst the flurry of activity on North Texas Giving Day, the true essence of the Denton Community Food Center shines through in the personal stories it holds. From the single parent who found solace in a warm meal for their children to the elderly couple who shared a moment of joy over a shared cup of soup, each tale is a testament to the power of community support.


One such story is that of Sarah, a young woman who once found herself in a situation of dire need. Sarah recounts how the Denton Community Food Center not only provided her with nourishment during a challenging time but also offered a listening ear and words of encouragement that fueled her spirit. Today, Sarah stands as a volunteer at the center, paying forward the kindness she once received.


Strengthening the Community, One Meal at a Time


The Denton Community Food Center's registration for North Texas Giving Day symbolizes a rallying cry to the community at large. It beckons individuals from all walks of life to come together and make a difference, however small it may seem. Every donation, every volunteer hour, and every kind gesture contributes to the greater cause of alleviating hunger and fostering a stronger, more resilient community.

Rodeo Goat is coming to Denton !!! They have TEAMED UP with the Denton Community Food Center (DCFC) to raise funds for Hunger Insecure families in the Denton area. Your minimum donation of $25 per person will include all food and non-alcoholic beverages in addition two tickets for beer, wine and cocktails. The restaurant will NOT be open to the public during this special evening fundraising event. Help support the DCFC mission to provide healthy nutritious food for families struggling with food insecurity so that children can be alert and learn in school and adults can be active contributors to our local economy and business community.

Last year DCFC assisted 3352 unique households representing 12,631 individuals struggling to put food on the table with our high inflation and skyrocketing grocery costs. The Food Center distributed over 1.2 million pounds of food, enough to make over 1 million meals in our community. The need is great today. Come have fun, eat and preview what the Rodeo Goat Denton has to offer. A great partnership. All proceeds from this event will benefit the Denton Community Food Center and our Mission to help feed our less fortunate local citizens. You will be glad you contributed and made a difference. And if you can't make it out Wednesday all donations are appreciated. We hope to see you on Wednesday September 27, 2023 between 5:30-8:00 pm.
