Helping Those Who Help Others
Because of you , seniors won ’ t go hungry this spring
Sharon cares deeply about giving back to her community . She ’ s especially passionate about causes that support children and those experiencing homelessness , often leading back-to-school and clothing drives .
Sometimes Sharon needs help , too .
Like many seniors , she lives on a fixed income . She ’ s a widow , and her social security checks don ’ t stretch quite far enough . By the end of the month she ’ s often out of money , only able to afford basics like milk and bread .
Three years ago , a friend recommended she visit a food pantry run by one of our Partner Agencies . There , she ’ s able to receive meat , produce and canned goods that can sometimes last her up to a month . She only goes when she absolutely has to so others can get what they need .
Sharon always shares the food she receives with seniors in her neighborhood who are not able to make it to the food pantry on their own . She ’ s so thankful for the food you help provide and for the people at the pantry .
“ Whenever you need something , they are there ,” Sharon says . “ They are very helpful to the community .”
Every day we meet seniors like Sharon who need a little help getting by and who are determined that no one else goes hungry , either . They ’ re often living on fixed incomes , and many battle health issues that can be costly . And due to the pandemic , we ’ re seeing even more older neighbors who are at risk of going hungry .
Your gifts make it possible for seniors like Sharon to receive healthy food when they need it most !
Because of you , Sharon ( on right ) doesn ’ t have to worry where her next meal will come from .
