The food bank distribution event, held by North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) in Dallas on Saturday, saw 600,000 pounds of food given away – including 7,000 turkeys. It is hoped enough food was given out to feed around 25,000 people. Photos of the event show thousands of cars backed up in four lines outside of Fair Park on Saturday morning. Texas’ unemployment rate in September was 8.3 percent — an increase from the 6.8 percent August jobless rate, according to a Texas Workforce Commission announcement on October 16. Since mid-March, the food bank has given out about 70.8 million pounds of food, according to the agency’s data.
