You’re Serving Up Hope
This Holiday Season
Hunger affects more and more
people every day in North Texas.
No longer just an urban issue,
suburban hunger is a reality for
clients like Sandra.

Because money is a constant
source of worry for Sandra,
she’s very grateful she has
the option to visit A Christian
Food Pantry, one of several
North Texas Food Bank Partner
Agencies located in Plano
where she lives.
“God bless
you.”
Each time she stops by the
pantry, Sandra is greeted
warmly by volunteers who
donate their time to help their
struggling neighbors. It’s such
a relief to be able to receive
help in such a kind and friendly
environment. Sandra isn’t one
to ask for help, but like many of
her neighbors, she has no other
choice right now.
After a recent visit to the pantry,
Sandra shared her thankfulness
for the food she received.
“God bless you,” Sandra says,
expressing sincere gratitude
for your gifts. Because of you,
she’ll have enough to eat this
holiday season.
