“My husband and I are on food stamps; we are managing on social security, but it’s very hard for us to make ends meet. This program helps us get vegetables, fresh fruits, and things that are luxurious to buy in the stores. We eat healthier now. I have seen people get better, live longer lives because they have fresh foods to eat.”
“My food bill has tripled. I’m a single Dad and since the pandemic, I’ve been cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I can’t afford the increase in expenses, so this distribution has been invaluable for us. We've come to depend on it this summer. It’s honestly fed us, that’s not an understatement."
"My son is disabled so he needs a lot of help. With everyone at home right now, it’s very hard for me. At this distribution, I can get everything I need – lunch, dinners, and spare food for later. It’s so great that people care. A lot of people need help right now and this distribution is so good. I appreciate all the volunteers helping here, tell your supporters they have good hearts. Bless them. Thank you very, very much for your donations! You are helping children and families.”
