school programs, senior citizen centers, Kids Cafes, BagPacks for Kids, rehabilitation facilities
and other social service centers. He added that one of every four children in Fort Worth and
Tan-ant County lives in food-insecure households that do not consistently have the resources to
access adequate amounts of nutritious foods and that hunger among the children of workers
caused more frequent illness, a greater need for healthcare and led to increased absenteeism and
turnover in the workplace which could be costly for families, as well as employers, and created a
less competitive workforce with lower levels of education and technical skills. He further stated
that the Tan-ant Area Food Bank could not accomplish its mission without the help of its 300
hunger-fighting partner agencies, some 7,000 volunteers each year, and more than 800
community food drives, in addition to the hundreds of grocery stores, restaurants and food
manufacturing companies that donate food. He announced that the Tan-ant Area Food Bank,
along with 200 other regional food banks across the nation, would host events during the month
of September to inspire individuals and communities to take action against local hunger.
