History of the Event

This isn't the first time TAFB and the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic have come together for a holiday food distribution event. In fact, it's the fifth consecutive year, and the impact has been remarkable. Previous efforts have fed more than 23,000 families, showing the power of community collaboration.

Over the years, this event has become a tradition, a time when families in need know they can count on a warm meal. The partnership with local organizations and generous donors like the MW Cares Foundation and Albertsons/Tom Thumb has made it possible to provide such a significant amount of food.

The Distribution Process

On Thursday morning, families simply need to line up at Lot Silver 4 of AT&T Stadium. There's no need for identification or documentation – anyone in need can receive proteins and holiday sides, ensuring that their loved ones will have a delicious Thanksgiving meal.

The distribution runs smoothly from 8 a.m. to noon, with volunteers working hard to ensure that every family gets what they need. It's a well-organized event that brings together the community to make a difference.

More Than Just Food

In addition to the essential food distribution, the event also features music, adding a festive atmosphere. And a $20,000 check presentation from the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic and American Airlines further supports TAFB's mission of fighting hunger.

This event is more than just a meal – it's a symbol of community spirit and kindness. It shows that even in difficult times, we can come together and make a positive impact on the lives of those around us.
