Hungry families will feed
their children healthy foods
this summer, thanks to you!
You’re Keeping Kids Healthy!
And easing the minds of caring parents
There’s no doubt our hungry neighbors are worried
about the fast-approaching summer months. They are
nervous that they’ll run out of food for their kids.
For single parents like Ralph, it can be hard to make
ends meet. While school is in session, he can count on
a healthy breakfast and lunch every
day during the week for his five
children. But when summer
comes, it gets harder to put food
on the table.
“I have a lot of mouths to
feed,” Ralph says. “I don’t ever
want my children to go hungry.”
Ralph also takes care of his
aging parents and a younger brother
with special needs. When he’s not
working, he’s wondering how to
feed his family on a tight budget.
“I have a lot of
mouths to feed,”
Ralph says. “I
don’t ever want
my children to
go hungry.”
Thankfully, Ralph and his family found the Amazing
Grace Food Pantry, which is one of our Partner Agencies.
They’ve been going for two years, and Ralph is grateful
for the quality of food he receives — especially the meat,
bread and fresh vegetables.

“Our kids’ health is based on what they eat, and I
couldn’t afford healthy foods,” he says. “But with the
help that we have received at the food pantry, we have
been able to get through. My kids have all the nutrients
they need and are healthy and growing.”
Parents want the best for their
children, and no parent should
have to worry about their children
going hungry. Thanks to you, Ralph
can breathe a sigh of relief knowing
he can provide for his family.
“The food pantry has really
helped us in times of need. I
couldn’t make it without them,”
Ralph says. “This place is a
blessing.”
This summer, many more
children and families like Ralph’s
need our help. We don’t want any
child in our community to go without food. Your ongoing
support of the Food Bank will help us keep the shelves
stocked with healthy, nutritious food so parents like
Ralph can give their children what they need.
