Richardson was recently named Top City Overall in the Spread the Hope Peanut Butter Drive held in September. The annual event, which benefits the Network of Community Ministries and North Texas Food Bank, was held in Richardson and other cities to help feed the hungry and raise awareness about food insecurity issues in North Texas. In Richardson, more than 4,600 pounds of peanut butter and $1,380 to purchase peanut butter was collected for Network. 

Network of Community Ministries is still greatly in need of other items; click here for a list of items that can be brought to Network headquarters at 1500 International Pkwy. (during donation hours) and click here for the organization’s Amazon Wish List.
