HungerMitao

Welcome to HungerMitao Tarrant!

HungerMitao translates to “wipe out hunger” and it is our mission to do just that by partnering with local food banks across the country. This volunteer-driven grassroots movement is focused on raising awareness about hunger in the USA, improving community engagement, as well as channeling resources and contributions of the Indian American community towards fighting hunger.

As a member of Feeding America, Tarrant Area Food Bank provides over 1 million meals per week to our community through its 350+ partner agencies across 13 counties. By supporting them, we are feeding the 1 in 6 people in our community who struggle with putting food on the table for their families. 

Raj and Anna Asava founded HungerMitao in 2017 with a twofold vision: 1) Engage in the fight against hunger with our resources to ensure no one goes hungry. 2) Unify the community as a cohesive force so that the Indian American community is recognized as a leader in fighting hunger.

Since its launch in 2017, the movement has enabled 50+ million meals through Feeding America and Food Banks in North Texas, Tarrant Area, Houston, New York City, Atlanta, Seattle and SE Michigan.

Get Involved

HungerMitao supports the efforts of the food bank through gifts, volunteer hours, and advocacy in the community. Get plugged in as you are able and start making a difference!

Donate

Funds are essential to TAFB’s mission to end hunger. Every ONE dollar donated provides FIVE meals to our community in need. Please consider making your contribution a sustaining gift by joining the Founders’ Circle with a pledge or signing up for the monthly giving program.

Volunteer

There are many volunteer opportunities at TAFB to explore. Harvest in the Learning Garden, cook in the Fort Worx Kitchen, or distribute food at our Mobile Pantries. HungerMitao Tarrant has a monthly shift reserved in Quality Control where we sort, check, and repack food in TAFB’s Distribution Center. Please join us the first Saturday of each month, 1:00pm to 4:00pm!

Advocate

We believe that access to food is a right, not a privilege. We can use our voice to end hunger in our community. Visit Tarrant Area Food Bank’s Advocacy page to learn about local issues connected to our mission.
