The Need in North Dallas
Invisible Poverty in North Dallas
The Storehouse Community Center is strategically located at the intersection of Dallas, Collin, and Denton County. Because North Dallas has historically been an affluent community, this area is under-resourced in terms of support programs for working families increasingly falling behind due to the rising costs of living and inflation. The most recent Map the Meal Gap findings from Feeding America reveals that Texas is the most food insecure state in the nation. More than just a food pantry, The Storehouse is positioned to address the needs of neighbors within the North Dallas region.
