Metroport Meals on Wheels offers a chance for individuals in need of food to connect with the volunteers who bring them warm meals.

“The personal connection between the volunteers and the participants is huge,” Executive Director Mary King said. “The volunteers love it [and] the participants look forward to it.”

The overview: Meals are dropped off to homes of individuals who cannot cook for themselves. Metroport Meals on Wheels also delivers meals to local senior living facilities, King said.

"I really choose to focus on that we [are] able to bring joy at a time when there might not [be] much joy,” she said.

Metroport Meals on Wheels is located off US 377 in Roanoke and services people in northeast Tarrant County, south Denton County and south Wise County, King said. Meals come from restaurant and grocery store partners such as Central Market in Southlake, Snooty Pig Cafe in Argyle and Dove Creek Cafe in Roanoke.

The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport board approved a $582 million revision to the contract for Terminal F and Skyline Station during the Jan. 8 meeting.

The revision supports future phases of the Terminal F expansion, but does not impact the anticipated opening of Phase 1 of Terminal F in 2027, according to the presentation.

The details: The new contract with Innovation Next+ is now $1.7 billion and the current contract was extended by 379 days. The new projected end date for the work is Aug. 29, 2028.

The change order calls for earthworks, structure and building envelope to expand the concourse capacity for future passenger processing and concessions areas of Terminal F.
