Hannah Garcia+FollowNAM’s Food Pantry Just Got a Major UpgradeNorthwest Assistance Ministries is seriously stepping up for Houston! Not only are they expanding food pantry hours (hello, Saturday openings!), but they’ve also launched new veteran services—think rent help, utility support, and more. Volunteers like Paula have been serving 60-80 families a day, and now even more folks can get the help they need, especially during those tough summer months. Plus, there’s talk of bringing back in-person pantry shopping soon. If you want to help shape their future, check out their event on Sept. 6! #Safety #HoustonCommunity #FoodPantry00Share
Michael Phillips+FollowFood Pantries: Lifeline or Letdown?Turns out, a lot of parents with young kids are hitting up food pantries—but it’s not always the lifesaver you’d hope. One in three families with little ones are struggling to afford basics, and nearly a quarter have used a food pantry in the past year. But get this: many say the food isn’t nutritious or doesn’t fit their needs, and some even feel embarrassed to go. Better options and more choice could make a huge difference! #FoodInsecurity #ParentingStruggles #CommunitySupport #FoodPantry #FamilyNeeds #Safety1526Share
