Tarrant County gave $200K to food pantries in November. Here’s where it went
As the government shutdown ended in mid-November, the Tarrant County Commissioners dedicated $200,000 to food banks.
Half of that went to the Tarrant Area Food Bank and the other half was divided equally between the five-person court to give out. Here’s where that money went.
