You Make a Difference in the Face of Hunger
Approaching the end of the year , there ’ s so much to be thankful for — especially you ! Your committed partnership has made such a difference in North Texas .
As our community continues to grow , the face of hunger is all around us . The cost of groceries has increased by nearly 37 % since 2019 and many families are fighting to keep up . Every day , more of our neighbors are facing hunger for the very first time .
That ’ s why your support is more vital than ever .
As you get to know Aurora , Clara and Saul in this issue of Around the Table , I hope you ’ ll be encouraged to see the power of your support . I also hope you ’ ll be motivated to continue lifting up our neighbors with the healthy food they need to thrive .
When you give , I ’ m excited to share that our partners at the Beaumont Foundation of America and Sammons Enterprises are going to triple the impact of your support — up to $ 200,000 . Through December 31 , every dollar you give will provide access to nine nourishing meals !
Thank you for standing strong with us in the face of hunger . You help ensure that every neighbor has access to nourishing meals and bring us one step closer to a hunger-free , healthy future in North Texas !
Gratefully ,
Trisha Cunningham President and CEO
