Philanthropy: Tarrant Area Food Bank
Julie Butner, President & CEO
Tarrant Area Food Bank
The family farming heritage is what inspired Harvest. Our residents enjoy farm-to-table produce, modern country living, community connection, and homegrown friendships. In so many ways, gardening nourishes the soul of our community.
In so many ways, gardening nourishes the soul of our community. Our theme is living a bountiful life which also means sharing our bounty with those in need. Since our first residents moved here in 2014, our community has donated more than 300,000 meals to the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) and its partners. In 2023, Harvest neighbors have donated nearly 17,000 meals. Something the food bank lacks is fresh produce. Because of our community farm and garden plots, we were able to provide more than 1,000 pounds of fresh produce. We are so proud of this accomplishment. Through the community garden plots, our demonstration garden, and special events, our residents are fighting hunger in North Texas.
North Texas is experiencing tremendous growth. It’s more than the North Texas Food Bank and Tarrant Area Food Bank ever expected. There are more than 86 people moving to Denton each day! Due to the growth, they came together to address how to better serve the metroplex: serving by zip code. Based on our zip code, we now fall under the Tarrant Area Food Bank.
