Our History
In 2011, Rick Gatewood felt inspired to help those in need during Thanksgiving. He reached out to others in the Tomball, TX area, and soon, local people, businesses, churches, and schools joined forces, recognizing the community’s need. Ron and his family helped out for six years. After a successful event, he decided he needed to start this event in the DFW area and so Familes Feeding Families DFW-Midcities was born in 2023.
