Just mention Katie’s little ones and watch her smile spread from ear to ear. She has two boys and two girls, the youngest is just 6 months old.
Wichita Falls Area Food Bank partner, Hands Up is a huge help to Katie. The healthy foods she receives ensure her children have the good nutrition their growing bodies need. But the friendship, encouragement, and additional assistance Katie receives from Hands Up means a great deal, too.
“The food really helps, and they also give us diapers,” Katie says. “And we get kid's bags on certain days which helps my kids out a lot.”
Until the children are old enough to attend school, Katie has few options for work because of the high cost of childcare. The children’s grandmother helps out when she can, but she lives an hour away.
Our partners at Hands Up have welcomed Katie’s family and helped them find housing and so much more.
“These people are amazing. I thank them every day,” she says. “This little extra help does get us through the rest of the month, and I appreciate all their help.”
Wichita Falls Area Food Bank is proud to partner with Hands Up to ensure families like Katie’s have ongoing access to nutritious food. Thank you for standing with us to deliver food and hope across our shared communities.
