REQUEST TO FWPA MEMBERS!

WE NEED DONATIONS! The Tarrant Area Food Bank needs our help. Their inventory is lower than ever.

FWPA will be collecting donations at the November GMM. 

It would be wonderful if we could deliver a trunk full or even a car full

of donations to the TAFB. You can also donate money at:
<https://tafb.org/donatehttps://tafb.org/donate/?fbclid=IwAR1bfnaJhRmK_8QYZ2qaKAgSMvBVWRHHe0DeQ8i8z




FWPA will have a gift card drawing to the member who donated the most items! In order to be in the drawing, forward a receipt from the TAFB to Joy Trammell,

or, if you bring food to the GMM, there will be a sign in sheet.


Thank you for all of your help! 

Let’s show the TAFB that the FWPA cares!

-- Joy Trammell, FWPA President
