Play It Forward: Mahjong (January 19, 2027)

Tue, 19 Jan 2027 19:30:00 GMT

Join our Mahjong Special Interest Group as we raise money for the Tarrant Area Food Bank. Details coming soon!

Local alliances across Texas will come together in January 2027 for one mission: fighting hunger in our own backyards.

What Is It?

Play It Forward brings people together in a fun way to help those facing hunger. Every dollar raised will go directly to a local food bank or another organization in your community that fights food insecurity. Whether it’s trivia, Mahjong, or another game, local alliances are encouraged to host a game event for this important cause. Members across Texas can join a local event and/or a statewide online event for the price of admission, with proceeds helping food banks serve families throughout our communities.

Why It Matters

More than 5 million Texans (one in six households) are food insecure, according to Feeding America, putting Texas among the five worst states for food insecurity. Texas’ rate of food insecurity is 17.6%, well above the national average of 13.3%.

The Big Picture

While each game night is local and self-organized, together they create a statewide impact. Every group that participates adds to a collective effort to help stock food banks at one of the most critical times of the year – right after the holidays.
