The donation we received on behalf of @Harry_Styles, in partnership with @REVERB_org, helped the North Texas Food Bank provide more than 60,300 nutritious meals to hungry North Texans!
This donation will help tremendously in our mission to close the hunger gap in North Texas.
Six months ago, on June 5, @Harry_Styles performed in #Texas and helped NORTH TEXAS FOODBANK through the sale of his merch.
@ntfb can you tell us what help has this provided? What are your current projects?
