Two neighbors, who take care of young children, visit a Fresh Food Distribution site together.  One recently moved to the area with her son and daughter, and recently began taking care of her two young grandkids. “We’re all helping each other,” she said, grateful for the fresh food that would stretch their budget that much further.

The other neighbor is a stay-at-home mom. Her husband has two jobs, but with prices rising, they visit the Fresh Food Distribution to make ends meet. “It’s a blessing even to receive a gallon of milk,” she said. “It goes a long way.”

These neighbors visited a Fresh Food Distribution site together because one of their cars broke down, “my neighbor stepped in to help with transportation. As moms, our first priority is making sure our kids are taken care of.” They are facing more and more obstacles as prices of essentials rise across the board. “It’s all about our kids,” they said. “All the food we get goes to making sure they’re fed.”
