Because of your generosity, families like Ted’ s in North Texas won’ t have to choose between food and medical care.

You Help Feed Food-Insecure Families

“ The food we received was a lifesaver.”

Times were tough for Ted. He worked tirelessly to support his family of six, but his wife’ s medical bills had hit them hard. After the rent was paid, there was barely enough left over to put gas in their car, let alone buy groceries.
His heart hurt to think his two young grandchildren might go hungry. So when a friend invited Ted along to visit one of our Partner Agency food pantries, he was hopeful.
“ I wasn’ t looking for a handout,” Ted explains.“ I was looking for a hand-up.”
At the food pantry, Ted received meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, and canned goods— a blessing for someone who didn’ t know where his grandkids’ next meal would come from.
“ The food we received was a lifesaver,” Ted says.“ My wife needs dialysis three days a week, in addition to our regular doctor visits. The food pantry helped us. Anyone who needs assistance should come here.”
On behalf of Ted and his family, thank you for helping feed neighbors across North Texas. Your support right now is crucial as more and more people in our community continue to struggle to make ends meet due to record high inflation and food prices. Together we can provide food for today and hope for tomorrow!
