Freedom From Hunger Concert --
House Full & Mesmerizing!
Our phones have not stopped ringing yet! Thank you for your tremendous support of the HungerMitao “Freedom from Hunger” concert on August 27th at Pebble Creek Montessori School in Plano. The venue was just right, we were close to standing room only! The volunteers turned it into a welcoming and intimate oasis, the sound system and sound management was legit, and the singers….? Well, the singers were fabulous! They clearly had a rocking time and ensured the audience was fully engaged throughout. Our esteemed and skillful emcee spun seamless bridges between the melodies. Oh, and the Masala Chai and chatpata samosa hit the spot! This evening of music raised almost 35,000 nutritious meals for North Texas Food Bank!!

2022 HungerMitao Month!
This August, the Indian American community celebrates and commemorates 75 years of independence and the glorious history of its people, culture, and achievements. We congratulate the Indian diaspora in North Texas and thank them for the millions of nutritious meals they have enabled through the HungerMitao movement for food challenged children, seniors, veterans, and families in need across North Texas.
Friends, we have started the planning and coordination for this year's HungerMitao Month "Funds for Food" drive benefitting the North Texas Food Bank.
If you as an individual, or your association/organization is interested in participating, please drop us an email at [email protected] and we will work with you to get you started in this noble cause.
Don't delay, shoot us an email today..

The month of August, when India commemorated its 75th anniversary of independence, may be over, but the opportunity to help keep our North Texas neighbors free from hunger is still available. Right now especially, family budgets just can’t keep up with the rising cost of essentials like food and gas. That means more neighbors are turning to the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) to help fill the gaps. Your support can make all the difference! Here is a simple, direct way to help NTFB: Click here to donate directly to the HungerMitao Month 2022 campaign. Every $1 can help provide 3 meals to neighbors in need.

North Texas Food Bank's 18th Annual Taste of the Cowboys (TOTC)
A Huge Success!!
As in the past several years, HungerMitao was a top sponsor of Taste of the Cowboys -- and what an amazing event it turned out to be! HungerMitao was in full force with over 100 folks from the Indian American community and their friends actively participating in this year’s North Texas Food Bank’s signature event Taste of the Cowboys held at The Star in Frisco. An amazingly fun night that saw impactful giving by folks from across North Texas. Dozens of amazing chefs from area restaurants served their delicious food while Dallas Cowboys players and NTFB board members interacted with the hundreds of participants who made this event a huge success — the best ever!! #NTFB #totc2022 HungerMitao_NorthTexas #GiveWhereYouLive
