In commemoration of Human Rights Day 2024, the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) Longhorn Deck participated in the “Honoring Human Rights with Every Meal” initiative at the North Texas Food Bank on December 14, 2024. This effort aimed to address food insecurity and emphasize food as a basic human right.
Addressing Food Insecurity
The project focused on sorting and packing donated food to provide meals to individuals and families facing hunger. Volunteers from NAS-Longhorn Deck collaborated with other participants to process:
- 36,256 pounds of food
- 30,713 meals
Through their teamwork, they made a significant contribution to the food bank’s mission of ensuring no one in the North Texas region goes hungry.
A Day of Meaningful Contribution
In addition to sorting and packing food, NAS-Longhorn Deck members engaged with other volunteers, sharing a sense of unity and purpose in addressing hunger. This hands-on involvement not only met a critical community need but also reinforced the importance of food as a universal human right.
Positive Outcomes
The initiative had a substantial impact on the North Texas community, providing thousands of meals to food-insecure households. The collective effort strengthened the bond between NAS-Longhorn Deck and the food bank, creating lasting relationships and inspiring further action.
