Mary Brown helps care for her grandchildren while sharing a home with her mother, three siblings and two grandchildren. With so many people depending on the same household budget, keeping enough food on the table can be difficult.
The food she receives from Harry Chapin Food Bank helps make that challenge a little easier.
“This is so helpful for our family because we can stretch it,” Mary said. “Getting meat, especially chicken, makes a difference. It helps us prepare meals that feed everyone in the house.”
For Mary, the support means more than simply bringing home groceries. It provides relief during stressful times and helps her family make the most of their limited resources.
“Taking care of a family can be stressful,” she said. “Food feeds the soul.”
Mary says she is grateful for the support she receives from Harry Chapin Food Bank, knowing that every distribution helps provide nutritious meals for the people she loves most.
