Henry, a nationally recognized trial attorney and philanthropist, continues his tradition of giving back with a heartfelt $125,000 donation to the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB). This generous contribution is part of his firm’s broader Feast of Texas initiative, which aims to provide 3.5 million meals to underserved families and individuals across Texas through partnerships with food banks statewide.

This donation will ensure that families across North Texas receive nutritious meals during the holiday season, a true reflection of Thomas J.

"The holidays are a time for family and gratitude, but we know that for too many Texans, the season can be one of hardship. Our expanded initiative, Feast of Texas, aims to bring some relief and a sense of unity to families in need," said Thomas J. Henry. "This isn't just about giving meals. It's about making sure every Texan, no matter where they live, feels supported and cared for this holiday season."
Through partnerships with the North Texas Food Bank and four other food banks across the state, the Feast of Texas initiative focuses on providing nutritious meals to Texas’ most vulnerable communities. This year’s expanded effort aims to create an even larger impact, setting a new standard for holiday giving beyond the season and strengthening the fabric of Texas communities for the future.
This year’s donation will span 92 counties, including the 13 counties served by NTFB, and reach those most at risk of food insecurity. This marks another important chapter in Thomas J.

Trisha Cunningham, President and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank, expressed deep gratitude for this generous donation, saying, "The holidays can be especially challenging for neighbors already struggling to make ends meet. With Texas leading the country in hunger and the NTFB’s 13-county service area having the fourth highest number of food insecure people in the nation, this contribution from Thomas J. Henry will provide much-needed relief to the nearly 778,000 individuals facing food insecurity in North Texas alone."
