Tarrant Area Food Bank West’s Peaches in the Warehouse Fundraiser
Presented by Albertsons/Tom Thumb, July 9, 2025
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WHAT: Tarrant Area Food Bank West’s (TAFB West’s) signature fundraising event, the 4th Annual Peaches in the Warehouse presented by Albertsons/Tom Thumb and in partnership with the Parker County Peach Festival, returns for another memorable evening! This special tasting event celebrates the spirit of the Parker County Peach Festival with peach-infused dishes, drinks, and desserts crafted by local chefs, as well as culinary students from Weatherford High School. Guests will also enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of TAFB West, learn about our hunger relief efforts, and see firsthand how we are partnering with the community to ensure every neighbor facing food insecurity has access to nutritious food across our seven counties. Limited tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available at tafb.org/event/peaches-in-the-warehouse/.
WHEN AND WHERE:
Wednesday, July 9, 4:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m., TAFB West, 112 Winners Circle, Weatherford, TX 76087
WHY: The 2025 Peaches in the Warehouse event comes at a critical time. Summer is one of the hardest seasons for neighbors facing hunger, especially children and families who may have limited access to regular school meals when school is out. Without these reliable breakfasts and lunches, families facing food insecurity often stretch tight budgets as far as they can, yet still fall short of filling the gap and keeping enough food on the table. Hunger doesn’t take a summer break, and recent reductions to vital federal nutrition programs make it more important than ever for our community to rally together to ensure children, families, and seniors across seven counties — Parker, Palo Pinto, Erath, Somervell, Hood, Hamilton, and Bosque — have the nutritious food they need.
MEDIA INFORMATION: Interviews with TAFB spokespeople can be scheduled in advance of the event.
