Feed Families, Fuel Hope

The holidays should bring joy and connection—but for many families in our community, food insecurity makes this season a struggle.

The T.D. Jakes Foundation is taking action to ensure no family we serve faces the holidays hungry. This campaign supports 270+ TORI families and other TDJF participants in need, building on our commitments to food access, workforce development, and community transformation.

Your gift helps fill empty tables and restore dignity. Every dollar provides immediate support—grocery gift cards, hot meals, and pantry essentials—while also investing in long-term solutions like workforce training, financial empowerment, and sustainable food systems.

Together, we can make sure every family we serve has what they need to thrive this season and beyond.
