2024 Season of Giving TAFB Transcript

Upbeat music plays throughout.

The scene shows the outside of a building with writing on it that says, “Tarrant Area Food Bank.” Then the scene changes to inside the food bank, a large warehouse with long rows of floor-to-ceiling, industrial shelves. The shelves are packed with pallets of food. Workers using forklifts and pallet jacks zoom around the warehouse, lifting and moving pallets.

There are warehouse noises, like beeping forklifts, truck engines, etc.

Stephen Raeside [off-screen]: That noise out there is the sound of a community in action.

Schwab volunteers pack food into boxes. Outside, a large food bank truck is parked at the loading dock.

Stephen Raeside sits in an aisle in the warehouse, with stacks of food all around.

Stephen: The mission of Tarrant Area Food Bank is to ensure a community where no person has to go hungry.

Schwab volunteers huddle up and throw their hands into the air in celebration. A large sign on a shelf reads, “1,009,229 weekly meals made possible.”

Schwab Volunteer 1: This place can serve a million meals a week, and they cycle through their inventory every couple of days. It's just amazing the work they do to provide basic nutrition to people in the area.

Stephen [off-screen]: We love our Schwabbies at Tarrant Area Food Bank.

Schwab Volunteer 2: Schwab gives you volunteer hours—you know encourages you to go out into the community.

A worker unloads pallets of food from a truck at the loading dock.

Stephen: Schwab is also a financial supporter and provides some grant funding for our general operational support. If I could wave a magic wand, I'd ensure that our entire community is well-fed and healthy.

A digital sign on the warehouse wall says, “16,681 lbs., 13,900 Meals.”

Schwab Volunteer 2: The best part about volunteering is knowing that I'm helping a cause greater than myself.

Several Schwab volunteers stand together, smiling.

Music fades. Brand music plays.
