One Truck Feeds Thousands
Catholic Charities Dallas is responding to the growing food crisis in our communities. Because of the COVID19 pandemic, we have distributed more than 2 million pounds of food.
In 2020, we have helped more than 72,000+ families.
Our trucks aren't slowing down anytime soon.
Our Team Makes It Happen
We have a dedicated food service team that coordinates and organizes each food drop. They make sure each community is served to the best of their ability.
They work hard to make sure everyone that wants food gets food, no matter what.
COVID19 Impact Numbers
As poverty increases, so does the need for food. Families shouldn’t have to decide between paying bills and putting food on the tables for their children, and yet that is a heartbreaking decision they make every day. We are here to help.
| Families Served | Meals Provided | Lbs of Food Distributed |
| 75,413 | 2,412,249 | 2,894,698 |
Daily Deliveries of Fresh Foods
We care about feeding our clients nutritious and balanced meals. The food deliveries vary by community. Our team tries to deliver food that caters to the cultural and dietary preferences of each community.
Our trucks typically deliver:
- Fresh produce (vegetables and fresh fruit)
- Dry goods (cereal, canned goods, etc)
- Meat and dairy products
Going Beyond the City Limits
You can find us in these communities every month
