Nourishing Food for a Giving Heart
Thank you for providing healthy food for Lester and his mother !
At 66 , Lester has witnessed his Dallas neighborhood transform over decades . A lifelong resident who played basketball at the local community center as a child , he ’ s now grateful to find healthy meals there as an adult , thanks to your support of the North Texas Food Bank .
“ This helps supplement my income ,” Lester shares . “ If I can get something here , it saves me from having to buy it at the store because vegetables and all of that stuff are really expensive .”
Lester lives alone after his wife passed away , and his five children and 10 grandchildren are scattered all over the country . Still , he always thinks of others when he receives food assistance .
“ I only take what I need , and when I leave here , my first stop is my mother ’ s house ,” Lester shares . “ I let her take what she wants first , and then I take the rest home .
Because of you , neighbors like Lester have access to nourishing food — not just for themselves , but for the people they love , too .
“ This is a diamond in the rough for this community ,” says Lester . “ We need this because nobody should go hungry .”
Thank you for making a difference — for Lester and for thousands of other North Texans !
Thank you for bringing healthy food and lasting hope to neighbors like Lester .
