For our older neighbors like Virginia, your support
is a true beacon of hope even in hard times.
Virginia, 71, is a beloved Jacksboro neighbor
who knows the importance of nutrition and wellbeing.
In her career, she worked for a home health
company. Now retired, she enjoys fishing and spending time outside.
Virginia relies on a fixed income as well as SNAP
assistance to make ends meet in retirement. “Rent
goes up and it’s hard to sustain a comfortable
living,” she says.
To stay healthy and manage her high blood
pressure, Virginia tries to ensure her diet is full
of nutritious produce and proteins. Your support
means these healthy ingredients are available at
the Jacksboro Community Food Pantry, an agency
partner of the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank.
With every visit to the pantry, Virginia picks up
enough food to last up to three weeks. Lunch
meat, pork, and beans are her favorite items to
bring home.
“Thank you very much—this helps so much
with my health,” she says gratefully to partners
like you. Thank you for standing with us to
ensure that food access is available for anyone
experiencing food insecurity in our Wichita
Falls community!
