The NTFB is so appreciative that The Bioworld Foundation has committed to providing 1.5 million meals to its neighbors over the next five years.

Raj Malik, founder and CEO of Bioworld, says the company has long believed in supporting its community, especially through work that impacts youth. “Bioworld has always believed in giving back to local communities.

The North Texas Food Bank is thankful for CVS Pharmacy customers for partnering with us as we work to close the hunger gap in North Texas. Texas now ranks as the hungriest state in the nation, and the 13 counties served by the North Texas Food Bank have the fourth-highest number of people experiencing food insecurity in the country, with nearly 778,000 of our neighbors facing hunger. Through the support of its customers, CVS Pharmacy granted the NTFB nearly $119,000—or enough to provide access to close to 360,000 meals. Grant funds went toward NTFB’s general operations and its vision for a hunger-free, healthy North Texas. Read more at https://lnkd.in/gZvc4Rc2.

This year’s parade will kick off at 9 a.m. July 4 at Highland Park Town Hall. The parade will include antique cars, firetrucks and first responders, high school groups, community floats and a bike decorating contest. The honorable Joel Williams is serving as Grand Marshal. The parade ends at Centennial Park, formerly Goar Park, where there will be a festival. Thank you for all you do, Park Cities Rotary Club ! https://lnkd.in/gmTfZwsN
