After purchasing their home in Florida, unexpected structural damages and medical expenses caused the Carter family to spend everything they had saved.

“I never envisioned myself needing to go to a food pantry and asking for help,” says Stephanie.

Stephanie's Story of Hope

Because of you, Stephanie knew she had somewhere to get nutritious food for her family when nothing else was going as planned.

“I can't tell you how much I actually appreciate it. Because, looking in my refrigerator, I know I can at least provide when everything else seems unstable. So, thank you.”

I can't tell you how much I actually appreciate it.
