Meet the neighbors you are helping . . .
I have so much to share with you about your impact on our neighbors who face hunger !
You ’ ve helped provide 32 million pounds of fresh produce in the past year . And because of your generosity , more than 136 million meals were provided to children , seniors and families in need through the network of more than 400 food pantries and community organizations that you empower with food to distribute .
Most importantly , I want to tell you about Patsy , a senior citizen who was struggling to stretch her thin budget . You helped her by providing much-needed nutritious food so she could cover her bills . You touched Toni ’ s life as well . Toni is a hard-working mother and grandmother who got sidelined by COVID-19 and struggled to put food on the table . Your kindness helped ensure her children and grandchild were fed , too .
These individuals are the real reason why I ’ m writing to you . Inside this issue of Around the Table , you ’ ll meet them and learn how you are providing critical nutrition during their most challenging times .
Your continued support means the world to neighbors like Patsy , Toni and so many others . And on their behalf , I want to sincerely thank you .
Gratefully ,
