A new relationship between the 6 Stones New Hope Center and North Texas Healthy Communities’ Good For You Pantry program means Hurst-Euless-Bedford residents in need will have even greater access to produce and healthy foods—even while the Euless nonprofit builds a new facility to better serve the community. The partnership enhances 6 Stones efforts to provide emergency food and other resources by supplying the nonprofit’s pantry with fresh fruits and vegetables and other healthy items, which are now available through walk-in and drive-thru food distribution services.

Fresh produce is good; more fresh produce is better! Residents living in and around Fort Worth’s 76119 ZIP code now have more access to healthy, fresh produce with the opening of a Good For You Pantry at Eugene McCray Community Center (4932 Wilbarger Street; 817-392-7146). The pantry, which offers no-cost fresh fruits and vegetables and other nutritional resources in a store-type setting, is the 13^th location to be opened in Tarrant County by North Texas Healthy Communities (NTHC), a nonprofit arm of Texas Health that implements Blue Zones Project in Fort Worth and other well-being initiatives across the region.

Good For You Pantry opens at C.C. Moss Elementary, the first of 10 additional fresh produce pantries thanks to funding from Tarrant County ARPA grant.
