At a time when families are adjusting to life under shelter-in-place, DART is working to combat hunger in its community.

DART has teamed up with Dallas Independent School District to deliver weekly meals for students and their families. These meals help meet the needs of families that are transit-dependent, use state-sponsored school lunches and have essential work responsibilities.

DART buses will pick up food each Thursday at DISD’s distribution center and deliver to three different Dallas distribution locations: Thurgood Marshall Recreation Center, Janie Turner Recreation Center and Highland Hills Branch Library.

Each bus will deliver 1,500 meals, enough for 100 families per bus, 15 meals per student, for a total of 4,500 meals weekly for distribution by DISD employees.

DART continues to leverage its currently available assets and capabilities to support North Texas during this difficult time.
