“ This puts food in my kids’ bellies.”
Thank you for helping parents provide for their children.
As a single mom to a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old, Ashley * knows how difficult mealtimes can be with two young children. Thankfully, because of generous supporters like you, she doesn’ t have to worry about what she’ ll feed her children each night.
Ashley works hard as a server, but during weeks when traffic is slow, she doesn’ t make enough to pay all of her bills.
“ I worked 10 hours the last few days and only made $ 36,” she says.“ Times are hard, unfortunately.”
Ashley previously qualified for SNAP benefits when her wages were lower, but now she turns to one of our partner pantries for grocery staples like milk, protein, dry goods and pasta.
She’ s grateful she can receive food she knows her children will eat— especially as a mom of a child with autism. Her youngest particularly loves applesauce and cereal.
“ This puts food in my kids’ bellies,” she says.
While Ashley continues her current job, she’ s searching for other opportunities.“ I have warehouse experience, so I’ m looking for a better paying job,” she says.
Thank you for empowering parents like Ashley and ensuring North Texas children have access to the healthy food they need!
