How it all started…

For more than 20 years, revered philanthropist Ruth Altshuler organized a Thanksgiving Food Drive out of her Preston Hollow home which directly assisted local agencies and the families they serve. In 2017, with Ruth’s blessing and guidance, Liza Collins and Rachel Stephens of Dallas brought back this special Holiday Food Drive and collected more than 4,000 pounds of canned goods and other non-perishables. Ruth Altshuler passed away in December of 2017 at the age of 93, but her legacy continues.

The Holiday Food Drive honoring Ruth Altshuler will be held at 4000 McFarlin Blvd (corner of Westwick Blvd) from 9AM - 4PM on Saturday, November 17, 2018. Volunteers will be in place along Westwick Blvd to help unload items. Donations will be delivered directly to the following agencies: Brother Bill's Helping Hand, CitySquare, the Salvation Army, St. Philip's School & Community Center, and the Wilkinson Center.
