Last week, Dallas Theater Center staff, Brierley Resident Acting Company members and A Christmas Carol cast members fulfilled the first part of DTC's continued partnership with the North Texas Food Bank.
Over the course of 2 days, 28 DTC representatives volunteered at the NTFB's Dan Morton facility. The first group spent time in the Food Bank's new meat locker sorting meat. In all, they sorted 6,300 pounds of meat, enough to fill seven pallets, or the equivalent to 4,922 family meals."After hearing how many families we would feed in concluding our team's meat sorting shift, I was amazed at how rewarding those few hours turned out to be," said Brad Pritchett, DTC Associate Director of Marketing and Communications. "The NTFB should be swarming with volunteers! I couldn't think of a more proactive and gratifying way to spend the morning."On the second day, DTC volunteers spent time in the warehouse portion of the Dan Morton facility sorting dry food and goods to be shipped to various member agencies. This group sorted 10,714 pounds of dry food and goods, enough to load seven pallets. They sorted and boxed the equivalent of 8,370 meals.
