R.E.D. Bus Service

Resources.

Education.

Delivered.

The purpose of the R.E.D. Bus is to provide resource assistance, nutrition education and nutritious food to communities with high levels of food insecurity. We will facilitate the delivery of these resources through benefits enrollment (SNAP, CHIP, TANF, Healthy Texas Woman, WIC and Medicaid), emergency food relief, and leveraging partnerships across critical zip codes needing high levels of food support

Tarrant Area Food Bank currently has a fleet of three buses serving Arlington, Fort Worth and areas West of Fort Worth.
