The Golden Triangle Rotary Club is pleased to welcome Debbie Sharpe, Community Outreach Coordinator for Don't Forget to Feed Me (DF2FM), North Texas' only pet food bank dedicated to helping families keep their beloved pets during times of financial hardship.

Debbie has been a dedicated volunteer with DF2FM since 2014 and, after serving as Volunteer Coordinator, was promoted to Community Outreach Coordinator in 2020. She is passionate about educating the public about pet food insecurity while building partnerships that help ensure families never have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their pets.

She and her husband, Dan, have four children, four rescue dogs, and two bearded dragons. Her love for animals fuels her commitment to advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves.

During her presentation, Debbie will share the inspiring story of DF2FM, its mission, and how the organization has helped distribute more than 13 million pet meals throughout North Texas by partnering with local food pantries and community agencies. She'll also highlight how individuals, businesses, and organizations can make a tangible difference through volunteering, pet food drives, and donations.
