As covered by WFAA News 8 in Dallas, on Friday, August 28, Sadler’s Smokehouse, Ltd. delivered a truck of its premium, pit smoked brisket, ribs and pork to the North Texas Food Bank to prepare for Hunger Action Month which began September 1.
“Protein is the most requested and often-times most expensive item to provide to our 268 member agencies,” said Jan Pruitt, North Texas Food Bank President and CEO. “In this economy, we are especially grateful for Sadler’s Smokehouse’s generous donation that allows us to provide high quality, nutritious and fully-cooked meals to feed 10,000 hungry North Texans.”

“We applaud the North Texas Food Bank for its tireless efforts to stamp out hunger in our area,” said Sadler’s Smokehouse CEO Terry O’Brien. “We are fortunate to be able to help the cause by providing our products, and we encourage others to donate what they can during Hunger Action Month.”
