Because of you, Lourdes’s
children won’t go hungry.
Providing Relief and Hope to Mothers in Need
Thank you for helping hungry families
When Lourdes was expecting her fourth child,
she looked forward to having another baby to raise
and love. Her other children were 11, 14 and 15 at
the time, and they were growing up so fast. But when
pregnancy complications sent her to the hospital, the
cost of treatment and medicine threatened to put her
in a terrible position — either pay bills or buy food
for her family.
Lourdes made the difficult decision to put her car up
for sale, and she tries to save money wherever she can.
“I grew up hungry,” Lourdes says. “I know what it’s
like. It scares me to think my kids would feel like that.”
Like Lourdes, Amanda was also worried about
feeding her family. With young children and another
on the way, the rising cost of food overwhelmed her
budget.
“Meat and produce can be expensive,” Amanda
says. “We needed help.”
Lourdes and Amanda were both relieved and
thankful to receive the nutritious food their growing
children needed at their local food pantries, run
by two of our Partner Agencies. After receiving
meat, bread, fresh fruits and vegetables, Lourdes and
Amanda can sleep soundly at night knowing their
children have nourishing food in order to grow up
healthy and strong.
Lourdes shares that she has been truly moved
by the generosity she’s seen from North Texas Food
Bank supporters and says she will teach her children
to give back to others.
“I’m grateful there are people like you who are
willing to help,” Lourdes says. “Please keep helping
because there are a lot of people that need it.”
Your gifts ensure families in North Texas
receive healthy food when they need it most,
especially now. Thank you!
