Feed The City events are open to all and do not cost a participation fee; only the cost of food items brought for donation. Each person is asked to bring a minimum of one loaf of bread, a package of deli turkey, cheese, mustard, a bag of cuties, a large bag of chips, and ziplock sandwich bags. The more you can bring, the more is able to be donated! Read more

WFAA’s Santa’s Helpers 2021

It’s hard to believe it’s nearly the end of 2021! While this time of year is busy and full of travel plans, family, and shopping, it’s important to remember that it is also a time for giving. In all of our hustle and bustle, we tend to forget that the holiday season can be a time of hardship for many families across the nation, including those throughout the DFW Metroplex. One of the most helpful things we can do to support those in need this time of year is to donate toys and gifts to local toy drives. It might not seem like much, but one donation could mean the world to a family in need! Read more
