The Tarrant Area Food Bank has an idea for helping people in need who cannot make it to their donation events, and volunteers say it couldn't come at a better time.It is a time of year when families and the spirit of giving is top of mind. The TAFB is highlighting its latest partnership with online retail giant Amazon .The teamwork between Amazon and the food bank means a massive delivery network is now available for food donations.
It started two years ago but was in jeopardy of continuing."It’s a really big deal because without this funding to have drivers come to pick up the food and carry it directly to the neighbors’ homes, we wouldn’t be able to do that," said TAFB CEO Julie Butner. "Our staff can’t do that. I don’t have the wherewithal to do that, and I don’t have a donation that is specific to this cause. So Amazon has directed this funding specifically to address homebound neighbors.
