The CEO of Hunger Busters says the group is making a positive out of being targeted by thieves this May.
a program that provides dinners for thousands of Dallas ISD students plans are now in the works to build the organization a new facility.
An architect provided Hunger Busters with free plans for a building that would be more secure and could also house other non-profits alongside it. "We want people in the community to feel welcome. Barbed wire doesn't give that feeling, but want to make sure we are safe," said Latame Phillips, the CEO of Hunger Busters."We are back to feeding kids and filling futures," Phillips said.
"They reached out and said we would like to help you design a building that's fortified where this won't happen and kinda modernize it," said Phillips."Every tree and plant on facility would be edible," Phillips noted. He says the other non-profits on site would have resources for homeless children, as well as counseling services and a coat closet.Hunger Busters prepares meals for thousands of Dallas ISD kids who would otherwise go hungry. But the operation is now on hold after tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment and copper was stolen over the weekend."I do hope and pray whoever did it can understand the devastation that it caused," Phillips said.
