Don't Forget to Feed Me (DF2FM)

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.

A Texas native raised in Oklahoma, Debbie earned her Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing from the University of Oklahoma. 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.

How You Can Help

Guests are encouraged to bring donations to this meeting to support DF2FM's mission. Most-needed items include:

• Dog food (wet or dry, any brand or size)
• Cat food (wet or dry, any brand or size)

💜 You May Know Someone Who Needs This.

Not every family facing domestic violence knows where to turn, what resources are available, or how to help someone safely get out.

That’s why the Golden Triangle Rotary Club is bringing Eric Zarko to our September 10 meeting to talk about:

Families to Freedom — Domestic Violence Assistance

This isn't just a topic for people directly experiencing domestic violence.

It’s for the friend who gets the late-night phone call.
The coworker who notices something isn't right.
The family member who wants to help but doesn't know how.
And the people who want to roll up their sleeves and become part of the solution.

Eric will help us understand how awareness, support, and community involvement can help break the cycle and bring hope, safety, and freedom to people who need it.

And here's the thing about Rotary: we don't just talk about problems—we look for ways to make a difference.

If you've ever thought, “I wish I knew how I could help,” this is a meeting you won't want to miss.

📅 Thursday, September 10
⏰ 7:00 AM
📍 DeVivo Eatery — Keller

Come listen. Come learn. Come connect. And maybe discover one way YOU can help change someone's life.

💙 Be Vibrant. Get Involved. Make a Difference.

Join the Golden Triangle Rotary Club as we welcome Mary Louise Nicholson, Tarrant County Clerk, for a look at Government Services and the work being done to serve the people of Tarrant County.

Her commitment to service has also earned recognition from two Texas governors. She currently serves as Chairwoman of the Texas County and District Retirement System Board of Trustees, along with serving on the Tarrant County Bail Bond Board, Elections Commission, and E-Government Committee.

But perhaps the most important part of her story is her commitment to the community she calls home.

You don't have to be a doctor, first responder, or healthcare professional to save a life. Sometimes, all it takes is a little bit of your time and a willingness to give.

Come out, donate blood, and help ensure that local hospitals have the lifesaving supply they need when patients need it most.

📅 Date: September 24, 2026
⏰ Time: 6:45AM
