Feed the City: How Fairview Neighbors Are Taking Action Against Hunger
In a world where it's easy to complain and hard to act, one simple Saturday morning event is giving Fairview-area residents a chance to do something that matters.
It's called Feed the City – Allen, and it's coming up soon. Hosted by Tango Charities, this grassroots food-packing event is part of a growing movement to combat hunger in our community, and it's taking place right next door to Fairview.
