The images have been staggering -- lines of cars stretching for miles as people wait for hours to collect donated meals. We have seen them over and over in recent weeks, one warning sign among many that a global pandemic has severe implications for our neighbors trying to remain safe and healthy -- and hoping not to go hungry while doing so.
This is why Heritage Auctions, the world's largest collectibles auction house, is proud to partner with the hometown pro sports teams and some of sport's biggest names and greatest players for the In This Together Charity Auction Benefitting the North Texas Food Bank. The Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks, Texas Rangers, Dallas Stars and FC Dallas have each generously donated items for this auction to fill the North Texas Food Bank's coffers during this difficult and desperate moment.
Here is why Heritage Auctions and the teams wanted to help:
- The NTFB says it has distributed 6 million pounds of food between March 15-April 15 -- which is 1.5 million more than during the previous two months. More than 12,750 families have been served at the mobile pantries since March 15.
- And as many people saw at Fair Park in mid-April, more than 2,220 families lined up for food. A normal day sees around 200-300 families.
- "It is estimated that at least 50% and up to 70% of those we have served since the beginning of the pandemic are new clients at our partner agency locations," according to the NTFB. "Some agencies reporting as much as 376% increase in demand year over year."
