Islamic Center of Irving Aims to Distribute 1 Million Pounds of Food in 2024 to Combat Local Food Insecurity

The Islamic Center of Irving's Outreach Department, in partnership with the North Texas Food Bank, is continuing its efforts to fight food insecurity in Irving and nearby areas through mobile food pantries. Following last year’s distribution of over 620,000 pounds of food, this year’s goal is to reach 1 million pounds.

The center’s next drive-thru food distribution event is scheduled for Saturday, November 2, 2024, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.   The Islamic Center is located at 2555 Esters Rd in Irving between SH-183 and W. Rochelle Rd.

The event is open to all and allows residents to pick up food for other families in need, provided they have information such as the family’s name, address, household size, benefits status, and income. Irving Mayor Rick Stopfer recognized the center’s contributions in a recent social media post, highlighting its positive impact on the community.
