WHAT IS FEED THE CITY?
Feed The City began in Dallas, Texas, on January 10, 2015, after setting a Guinness World Record for the Most People Making Sandwiches Simultaneously. Inspired by that moment, Feed The City became a monthly event where volunteers of all ages come together to fight hunger.
​
At each event, volunteers bring supplies listed on the event page, gather at a local venue, and work together to pack meals for those in need. Since its launch, over 1,700 events across 5 countries, 14 states, and 69 cities have welcomed 100,000 volunteers, providing more than 7 MILLION meals.
​
Open to everyone, Feed The City is powered by people like you—families, friends, schools, and organizations—coming together to make a difference. Join us to create hope, one meal at a time.

Our entire organization is led by volunteers. If you would like to start an event in your city please get in touch with us here.
If I can't attend, can I drop-off premade food?
Can't make it? No worries! We have a solution for you. Pack up the items mentioned "Can't Attend? Drop Off!" We DO NOT accept pre-made sandwiches.​​
What do I wear to the event?
Please wear closed-toe shoes. We ask anyone with long hair to have it pulled back or to wear a hat. If you would like to wear orange, do so. That is the color for hunger awareness. If you are looking for Tango Charities merchandise, you can find it here.
Can we donate money?
Yes, you can. Click here to donate. All donations are tax-deductible.​​​
Can my group participate?
100%! It doesn't matter how many people attend. Anyone over 18 years of age should register on the event page. Also, please ensure that EACH PERSON brings supplies for 25-30 meals. We ask that each person register separately.
Can I drop off food on the weekdays?
Unfortunately, we only accept food during the times of our Feed The City events.
Where does the food go after it's made and can I help distribute?
At all of our events we partner with local food organizations in the area. Those partners pick up the food from our event and they distribute the food to their patrons. We do not coordinate distribution. These organizations range from food pantries to soup kitchens to shelters to after school programs and more. Our events usually produce enough food to support multiple organizations on a given Saturday.
