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 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.
