A middle school student in Collin County has tested positive for measles, health officials confirmed Wednesday, the first reported case in a child in the Dallas-Fort Worth area this year amid an outbreak of cases in Texas. The student attends Willow Springs Middle School in Lucas, part of the Lovejoy Independent School District, according to Collin County Health Care Services. In other news, the North Texas Food Bank announced Wednesday that Annam Manthiram has joined its executive leadership team as its new chief external affairs officer; “softness” in demand from domestic leisure travelers stung Southwest Airlines during the first quarter as the Dallas-based carrier pushed ahead with turnaround plans that include fees for checked bags and premium seating in the coming months. On Wednesday, Southwest Airlines reported a $149 million net loss between January and March on $6.4 billion in revenue; and Dallas' Planning and Development Department will change how it calculates commercial remodeling permit fees after losing $8.6 million because of a staff error. The Dallas City Council approved the change without discussion during Wednesday's meeting. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
In this heartfelt conversation, Alex Snodgrass, founder of The Defined Dish and bestselling cookbook author, opens up about what success truly means beyond the metrics of social media followers and book sales. From her surprising transition out of real estate to finding her purpose through food blogging, Alex shares how she built a thriving business while staying true to her core values. She candidly discusses the challenges of balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship, the importance of setting boundaries in the digital age, and her decision to step back from lucrative opportunities to preserve authenticity. Most compelling is her perspective on food as more than just sustenance – it's about creating memories, fostering connections, and maintaining traditions. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, home cook, or someone seeking to find balance in their own life, Alex's journey reminds us that true success is measured by the moments shared around the dinner table, not just the numbers on a spreadsheet.

While the Texas Rangers battle the Arizona Diamondbacks on the field during the World Series, The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) is joining forces with The Tarrant Area Food Bank (TAFB) in a friendly competition with St. Mary's Food Bank in Phoenix to see which metropolitan area can raise more funds to “strikeout hunger” in our communities. Both metropolitan areas face high rates of food insecurity. The 970,000 people in the DFW area who struggle with food insecurity would fill Globe Life Field more than 24 times, and tragically one-third of that number are children. Historic inflation rates cause many families to make tough decisions, often choosing between purchasing food and securing other necessities, such as utilities, rent and medications — and food should never have to be a choice. Right now, the NTFB and TAFB are providing access to more meals than at the height of the pandemic. The DFW community is encouraged to join the North Texas Food Bank and Tarrant Area Food Bank to help strikeout hunger in our area. Go to strikeouthungerntx.org to make your gift in honor of the Texas Rangers. If you are an Arizona Diamondback fan you can also donate to St. Mary's at https://www.firstfoodbank.org. The funds will not only help each city feed its communities but will also give the winning community bragging rights. The CEO(s) of the losing food bank(s) will wear the winning team's jersey for a day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the North Texas Food Bank to restaurants in Uptown Dallas, DFW Restaurant Week is a great opportunity to eat good food while supporting an even better cause.
Hunger is a complex issue. The mission of the North Texas Food Bank is to close the hunger gap by providing access to nutritious food for our neighbors. Hunger is vast in North Texas. The North Texas Food Bank serves thirteen counties through a network of almost 400 agencies to ensure they have nutritious food for their community!

My conversation today with Gretchen reminded me of some of the observations that I have made concerning boards and fundraising. Throughout my career I have noticed two consistent yet disparate themes that I suspect those with even a brief tenure in fundraising will be familiar with. The first is what we might call “board knows best”: board members whose inclination is to always assume the existence of expertise that the fundraiser doesn't have and therefore they must provide. The second theme, perhaps a defense mechanism in response to the first, is what we might call “blame the board” which is the tendency of nonprofit leaders and their fundraisers to scapegoat the board for all the reasons fundraising isn't working. Neither storyline is particularly helpful, and I am hopeful that our listeners have the benefit of working for organizations that have matured beyond both of them. Today's deliberation of board dynamics with Gretchen was much enjoyed. Perhaps a bit uncertain of where we were going at first, we arrived at an ideal where the board is advancing rather interfering with our fundraising efforts. We compared notes on where we have seen board members contribute in meaningful ways and where all they can seem to do is get in the way. If your organization is trying to reconcile the expectations you have (and don't have) of board members when it comes to fundraising, don't miss today's conversation on The Fundraising Talent Podcast. As always, we are especially grateful to our friends at CueBack for sponsoring The Fundraising Talent Podcast. And, a special thank you to Erica Yaeger and her team at the North Texas Food Bank for hosting our roadshow earlier this week. Your partnership is very much appreciated.

En los pasados meses, la nación entera ha visto con alarma las fotos y videos de filas interminables de automóviles con familias que van en busca de alimentos donados para poder subsistir. Este es un problema que ha ido creciendo en los últimos años y se ha agravado con motivo de la pandemia y el creciente número de personas desempleadas. Los bancos de alimentos -- como el North Texas Food Bank -- trabajan arduamente para aliviar esta situación. Por otro lado, AARP, la principal organización defensora de los intereses de las personas mayores de 50 años de edad, está también trabajando fuertemente para aliviar la situación, no solamente en el ámbito nacional sino localmente en la Legislatura de Texas. Anna Kurian, directora senior de mercadeo y comunicaciones del Banco de Alimentos del Norte de Texas – North Texas Food Bank -- y a Joe Sanchez, director estatal asociado de AARP Texas se unieron al presentador del podcast de Sabes Que, Rafael Ayuso, para hablar sobre el problema del hambre y sus posibles soluciones.

"My body's tired of screaming everything is fine." With these words, sung over a haunting chord progression on Facebook Live, Court Hoang brought "Will I Wake Up?" into the world for the first time. A collaborative project from beginning to end, the song started as the product of a live songwriting session and ended as an ensemble number, produced and pieced together by Court himself. "Will I Wake Up?" explores the weight each of us has been asked to bear over the course of the past crazy year, articulating the emotional struggle of appearing fine when one is breaking inside. In this episode, Court Hoang and Emmeline talk about their collective college experience, the spirituality of songwriting, the conversation that happens between a creative's cognitive and emotional processes, the social responsibility we bear as artists, and the magnitude of music's power to heal and connect. They also get candid about millennial struggles, Texas weather, and the need to take care of each other.To learn more about Court Hoang and follow his journey, check out his Patreon page.

I've often said on this podcast that some of the truest tests of leadership happen during a crisis. But even if you're someone who thrives in high-stakes situations, there is inevitably what I'll call, “the drop.” You can only run at full steam for so long … Trust me. So, what would you do if your job was to manage a crisis that was never-ending? That kind of leadership is unique and it's something my guest, Brad Stewart, has in spades. Brad is the Chief Operating Officer of the North Texas Food Bank, which last year alone provided nearly 100 Million meals for people experiencing food insecurity. They have been on the frontline of the hunger crisis for almost 40 years, but even they were surprised by the scale of need we would experience in our communities. And still, they persevered. Brad and I discuss his journey to servant leadership, the lessons to be learned by taking risks, and the resilience that can be built when a team steps up together.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, like millions of others in Texas last week, dealt with water and power issues when the massive winter storm hit the state. Yet Murray, a Dallas-area native, wasn't concerned with his safety during the storm even as his power kept flickering out and his water wouldn't heat up at his home. Instead, he donated 60,000 meals to the North Texas Food Bank. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
It seems like it's been forever since we last said these words, but college baseball season is here! On this episode we talk about opening weekend for the Aggies and the Bulldogs, and we also discuss our weekend outings to the State / Alabama women's basketball game (me) and the San Antonio rodeo (Mel). Plus, Mel shares some ways we can all jump in and help Texans who are recovering from last week's ice storm. AND. This week we get to spend some time talking with author Elizabeth Passarella. I mentioned her new book, Good Apple, on the podcast a few weeks ago (you may remember that I loved it), and Melanie and I were so excited to get to visit with her. You'll hear part of the conversation on this episode - the rest a few weeks down the road - and you are going to love her. Melanie and I had both talked to her for about three minutes when we realized that it felt like we've known her forever.

Anette visits with her friend, Trisha Cunninghttps://ntfb.org/about-us/leadership-and-board/ham, President and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank, about meeting the needs of the increased level of hunger in her region. They were recently in the news as thousands lined up to receive food before Thanksgiving. Trisha talks about the increase in need since the impacts of COVID.Anette would like to encourage you to help NTFB or your local food bank. The High Plains Food Bank serves the Texas Panhandle.Anette and Trisha met through Leadership Women programs and board service.Trisha Cunningham is President and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB), a $200 million nonprofit focused on eradicating hunger in a diverse 13-county service area. It is estimated that more than 960,000 in this area do not know where they will find their next healthy meal. Through direct and feeding partner programs, Cunningham and the NTFB team of 180 employees and thousands of volunteers provided access to 97 million meals in their most current fiscal year. This was 20 million more than their prior year and it exceeded their 2025 goal of 92 million meals five years ahead of schedule.Prior to North Texas Food Bank, Cunningham was a 30-year global marketing, communications, branding, and public affairs executive at Texas Instruments where she most recently served as Chief Citizenship Officer. While there, she founded the Dallas Fort Worth Corporate Citizenship Network creating a collaborative model for area corporations to strengthen social impact and sustainability.
Happy Thursday! It is a hot day here in the North Texas area! The high is almost 80 degrees! We have a great show it store for you today! At the half, we have Trisha Cunningham, the President and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank on to discuss giving back with The North Texas Food Bank, so stick around for Trisha! First up, we have a One Life Radio favorite, Von Eaglin, so let's get started! Von Eaglin Von Eaglin is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor and works with two group practices in the Dallas area. He is a certified couple relationship trainer and sees a wide range of clients addressing men’s issues, anger management, abuse, and addiction; just to name a few. He is also a doctoral candidate at the University of North Texas in the Counseling and Higher Education Department. His Ph.D. research focuses on on couple relationships dialogue. You can find him at his website or follow him on Instagram @VonTalks. Von's Solutions For Top Holiday Stressors Family issues and family pressures are definitely one of the biggest reasons for holiday stressors. There are a lot of expectations placed on us around the holidays that we fall into the happiness trap. The happiness trap is when we try so hard to be happy, that when we are not ecstatic, we are ultimately disappointed and end up being incredibly sad. Financial stress is another big holiday stressors. Use your creativity! Von says that for his Mother each year, he makes her a custom calendar! How cute and sweet! Children are very susceptible to adult stress. If the child is 5, maybe don't tell them that the bills are piling up. If the child is 14, a conversation about how might things really cost may be a good life lesson. There is a difference in being broke and poor. Broke means you have no money, poor is a state of mind. You always need to be able to differentiate the two to your self and to your children! Trisha Cunningham Trisha Cunningham is President and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB), a nonprofit focused on eradicating hunger in a diverse 13-county service area. It is estimated that more than 900,000 people in the North Texas area do not know where their next healthy meal is coming from. Cunningham and the NTFB team along with their partner agencies and thousands of volunteers provided access to almost 97 million meals last fiscal year. Prior to North Texas Food Bank, Cunningham was a 30-year global marketing, communications, branding, and public affairs executive at Texas Instruments where she most recently served as Chief Citizenship Officer. Cunningham currently serves as a director for Feeding Texas, Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas, and the International Women’s Forum (IWF) Dallas Chapter. Giving Back With North Texas Food Bank 1 in 5 people in North Texas is food insecure and doesn’t know where his or her next meal is coming from. Every $1 helps provide three nutritious meals for hungry children, seniors and families in our community. Consider becoming a volunteer! Every hour you give gets us closer to a hunger-free, healthy North Texas. The Texas National Guard is back at the North Texas Food Bank to provide additional help through December in our production lines and Mobile Pantry distributions. A resurgence in Coronavirus cases is increasing demand even further and according to Feeding Texas, Texas food banks estimate they will need to distribute approximately 80 million pounds of food per month over the next 6 months to keep pace with the demand. Food 4 Kids backpacks will be available to all students at our regular sites and we are removing the enrollment/referral process. Hunger is hidden. Trisha says that The North Texas Food Bank usually served the working poor, like the person who checks you out at the grocery store, or you favorite waiter or waitress. Hunger is a symptom of poverty. Livable wages, educations, job skills training, and healthcare are all things that we need to be looking at when we ask the que...

There are a lot of expectations placed on us around the holidays that we fall into the happiness trap. The happiness trap is when we try so hard to be happy, that when we are not ecstatic, we are ultimately disappointed and end up being incredibly sad. Financial stress is another big holiday stressors. Use your creativity! Von says that for his Mother each year, he makes her a custom calendar! How cute and sweet! Children are very susceptible to adult stress. If the child is 5, maybe don't tell them that the bills are piling up. If the child is 14, a conversation about how might things really cost may be a good life lesson. There is a difference in being broke and poor. Broke means you have no money, poor is a state of mind. You always need to be able to differentiate the two to your self and to your children! Trisha Cunningham Trisha Cunningham is President and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB), a nonprofit focused on eradicating hunger in a diverse 13-county service area. It is estimated that more than 900,000 people in the North Texas area do not know where their next healthy meal is coming from. Cunningham and the NTFB team along with their partner agencies and thousands of volunteers provided access to almost 97 million meals last fiscal year. Prior to North Texas Food Bank, Cunningham was a 30-year global marketing, communications, branding, and public affairs executive at Texas Instruments where she most recently served as Chief Citizenship Officer. Cunningham currently serves as a director for Feeding Texas, Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas, and the International Women’s Forum (IWF) Dallas Chapter. Giving Back With North Texas Food Bank 1 in 5 people in North Texas is food insecure and doesn’t know where his or her next meal is coming from. Every $1 helps provide three nutritious meals for hungry children, seniors and families in our community. Consider becoming a volunteer! Every hour you give gets us closer to a hunger-free, healthy North Texas. The Texas National Guard is back at the North Texas Food Bank to provide additional help through December in our production lines and Mobile Pantry distributions. A resurgence in Coronavirus cases is increasing demand even further and according to Feeding Texas, Texas food banks estimate they will need to distribute approximately 80 million pounds of food per month over the next 6 months to keep pace with the demand. Food 4 Kids backpacks will be available to all students at our regular sites and we are removing the enrollment/referral process. Hunger is hidden. Trisha says that The North Texas Food Bank usually served the working poor, like the person who checks you out at the grocery store, or you favorite waiter or waitress. Hunger is a symptom of poverty. Livable wages, educations, job skills training, and healthcare are all things that we need to be looking at when we ask the que...

Trisha is a born leader of 30+ in a corporate setting, to leading a non-profit, while being a loving mom, who set an amazing example of a woman who serves and loves others well.

Feeding more San Antonians each week than the capacity of the Alamodome and AT&T Center combined, there's no shortage of work for the San Antonio Food Bank. That's why CEO Eric Cooper is actively speaking to Congress and Governor Greg Abbott, hoping to improve and retain programs that serve more than 120,000 people per week. Cooper is this week's guest on the ‘San Antonio's Voice' podcast, talking with Randy Beamer about his increased lobbying on behalf of San Antonio during the pandemic. They also talk about the new faces receiving food and why some unemployed families still can't get fed. The reason may surprise you. Also in the podcast, Cooper blames low paying jobs and racism for San Antonio's hunger problem, adding that it's wrong the Food Bank serves as a safety net caused by them. Plus, the former missionary and Boy Scout reveals his personal experience with homelessness and how it helped change his life. Cooper joined the San Antonio Food Bank in 2001 as the youngest executive director in the history of the organization. The Food Bank helps provide food to Texans in a 16-county service area and employs 250 people. Cooper serves on a variety of committees focused on food and nutrition. Before arriving in San Antonio, Cooper was a product donations manager at the North Texas Food Bank.

Eric Cooper moved to San Antonio in 2001 to take over the San Antonio Food Bank and get it on the right path. In his time at the SA Food Bank, the non-profit has raise a lot of money, added many programs, and has made it their mission to provide food for today, food for tomorrow and food for a lifetime. Eric Cooper is heartwarming, loving, and genuinely cares about his mission and the San Antonio Food Bank's success. Transcript: [music] Justin Hill: Hello and Bienvenido, San Antonio. Welcome to The Alamo Hour, discussing the people, places, and passion that make our city. My name is Justin Hill, a local attorney, a proud San Antonian, and keeper of chickens and bees. On The Alamo Hour, you'll get to hear from the people that make San Antonio great and unique and the best-kept secret in Texas. We're glad that you're here. All right. Welcome to The Alamo Hour. Today's guest is Eric Cooper. Eric is the executive director of the San Antonio Food Bank and currently serving in somewhat of a role as a little bit of a national spokesperson for food and security as a result of the crisis and as a result of some press that San Antonio got. He joined the San Antonio Food Bank in 2001 and has since taken it from really being on somewhat of a tenuous footing to really a robust, important, and surprisingly, oddly, well-funded nonprofit in the city. I was doing some research on you. Before this crisis, 58,000 people a week got help. 77 million meals a year, to me, kind of a nerd about things. 2% overhead for y'alls budget. That's something that unless people really pay attention, you don't realize how important that is and how really a compliment to your management skills. Thank you for being here. I want to get into some of these things, but thank you for being here. I can't imagine your time commitment, so I'm glad we got a little bit of it. Eric Cooper: Hey, super excited to be on the show. It's a great city and we're just so privileged to be a part of it. Justin: I think that's a great city. That's why I started this whole thing. You and I were sort of joking how you got these San Antonio stories. I moved here and I've met a weird, fascinating array of characters and I was hoping to share that through this show. We haven't met before, but you're in such a big spotlight right now. I knew about the San Antonio Food Bank. I've learned so much more about it, so I want to talk to you about it. First, I'm going to put you through sort of our top 10 list we go through to get some color commentary on who you are as a person. I've read a bunch of your interviews before you got here today. I want to-- Eric: Sorry about that. [chuckles] Justin: Well, a lot of it, I don't want to retrace steps. Some of it, I want to get some new information. When and why did you move to San Antonio? Eric: Well, I've been in food banking for about eight years. I actually got my start in Salt Lake City at the Utah Food Bank and then made my way back home to North Texas. I grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. There was an opportunity to serve with the North Texas Food Bank which, at that time, they had their facility in South Oak Cliff. I was there a couple of years and had watched as the San Antonio Food Bank somewhat struggled. We went through about four CEOs in a two-year period. Two of them had gotten fired and the other two had quit. The board was struggling. The food bank was struggling. I figured I couldn't screw it up any worse and they offered me the job at that point. I became their youngest executive director. I love an opportunity and I just saw such an opportunity to serve people in need. I knew I was going to dedicate my life towards putting food on the table for families. As I had traveled South Texas and seeing some of our border communities, it's some of the most extreme poverty in the United States. I knew I wanted to serve an area that had that need. When the opportunity arose, the board...

Amy Walton is from Texas, where she spent 15 years managing nonprofits like the North Texas Food Bank and the Jewish Family Service. Last year, she launched modTEXAS, an initiative to draw attention to Texas modernism and celebrate the people and institutions working to preserve it. Building a coalition of over a dozen nonprofits using social media, modTEXANS have shared thousands of images of midcentury design and architecture that can literally be mapped across the state. When you think of Albuquerque, New Mexico, you might think of southwest adobe design, or maybe that TV show In Plain Sight which filmed there for five years, but you’re certainly not thinking of Modernist architecture – yet. Thea Haver is hoping to change that as co-founder and director of Modern Albuquerque. Co-host Paige Wagoner Claassen is an architectural historian with the popular Instagram feed Claasshaus, seeking out meaning, beauty, and significance in buildings and history in objects. Co-host Wayne Pond's melodious voice hosted an interview show called Soundings based in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina from 1980 to 1997, interviewing journalists, poets, novelists, documentary film makers, musicians, governors, members of Congress, and tech leaders about their work in the arts, education, ethics, literature, religion, politics, music, philosophy, and even architecture. The shows live on at at the National Humanities Center iTunes site.
Trisha Cunningham, president and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB), is our guest for Episode 6. NTFB is one of the largest food acquisition and distribution organizations in the United States. Prior to her role at the Food Bank, Trisha’s distinguished 30-year career at Texas Instruments included such leadership positions as director of Worldwide Company Communications and Chief Citizenship Officer. She has served on numerous boards of nonprofit organizations and has been recognized with a long list of honors and awards, including Dallas 500, Girl Boss 2019, Nonprofit Professional of the Year, Women Leading Greater Good and CSR Executive of the Year. A native of Kentucky, Trisha is a graduate of Murray State University. She and her family fell in love with Fairview, Texas more than 20 years ago, when they chose the community for its Lovejoy Independent School District (“almost like private school in a public system”) and the opportunity to “live somewhere that felt like the country but had access to Metroplex amenities.” “After 30 years with TI, I knew I wanted to go on to do something like this. I wanted to lift up the community with [these skills that I had been so fortunate to get]. If you look at all the global work that we did, the one unifying factor was hunger.” LINKS: Trisha Cunningham https://www.linkedin.com/in/trishacunningham/ North Texas Food Bank https://ntfb.org/ Fairview, Texas http://fairviewtexasedc.com/home.aspx Lovejoy Independent School District https://www.lovejoyisd.net/

Even though that's a mouth-centered topic, you should use your ears to listen.
