Rosie and her two daughters, Cady and Eryn, donated 182 pounds of dry goods, protein and produce last month. This was the second time in three months Rosie came to a pantry. The first time she came to receive food.

Rosie found herself unemployed and out of food. With nowhere to go, she went to one of the food bank pantries for help. In the months following her first visit, she managed to get back on her feet. Because of the kind service she received, she felt she needed to give back. “A few months ago I had nothing, but now that I have a little extra, I want to give back,” she said.

Rosie approached her friends and family to join her in collecting food. Her 5-year-old granddaughter even chipped in with a bag of food. People like Rosie make everything we do worth it.
