Volunteers from the North Texas Food Bank braved the freezing temperatures to distribute 22,000 pounds of food to 150 families in need. Despite the cold weather, these selfless individuals stood outside for hours to ensure that their community members were fed. The event, hosted by UNT Dallas, was held in 25-degree weather, with recipients expressing their gratitude for the assistance.
Meanwhile, at Fair Park’s Grand Building, vulnerable residents have been staying at an inclement weather shelter run by Our Calling CEO Wayne Walker. The shelter, opened last Sunday, has faced challenges due to the harsh winter weather in North Texas. Walker acknowledges the toll on the nonprofit’s staff and volunteers, who have been working tirelessly to provide support to those in need.
With the impending closure of all three inclement weather shelters on Saturday, the community is grateful for the dedication and hard work of the volunteers and organizations involved in providing essential services during difficult weather conditions. Despite the challenges, individuals like Brianna Aguilar and Wayne Walker continue to embody the spirit of service and compassion, ensuring that no one goes hungry or without shelter in freezing temperatures.
