You ’ re Feeding Children All Summer Long

Thank you for helping when it ’ s needed the most

With two young children and a wife , Nelson works hard to provide meals for the family . But with food costs continuing to rise , affording healthy food and living expenses became difficult .
Nelson needed help to make sure his family had enough to eat . Fortunately , his mother-in-law suggested visiting a food pantry at the children ’ s school .
Thanks to your generosity , Nelson now has reliable access to nourishing food for his family when they need it the most .
“ It means a lot to see that the school cares about their students . And their families as well .”
Our Child Programs play a vital role in keeping North Texas children and their families healthy . Programs like Food 4 Kids and our School Pantries are helping ensure that students facing hunger — as well as their families — have access to nutritious meals throughout the school year and into the summer .
“ The pasta , the vegetables that we get , just a little bit of everything . We enjoy all the food . It helps a lot , especially in the pocketbook ,” Nelson says .
Right now , stories like his are becoming much more common . Parents want to provide for their children and keep them healthy , but unexpected challenges often make this feel overwhelming .
Your support gives our neighbors a way to stay healthy and cover other necessities . You provide much-needed nourishment — and greatly reduce the struggles parents face when trying to make ends meet .
Thanks to the generosity of friends like you , families like Nelson ’ s can stay fed during the tough summer months .
Because of you , Nelson ’ s children have access to healthy food this summer .
