Meet Yesenia, a remarkable single mom of eight children. She works hard for her family as an egg harvester, but she dreams of someday becoming a CDL driver, which has higher pay and more opportunities, to provide a better future for her children.
Her youngest is only 9 months old, and her oldest is 20. That means her needs span all the way from baby purées to full meals for young adults. This amount of food is difficult for so many of our neighbors to access at this time of year. Prices for nutritious food are still nearly out of reach, and children are out of school for the summer months. That means there are no free or reduced-price breakfasts and lunches for the school-aged children.
For Yesenia and countless families like hers, your support of the Great Plains Food Bank is life-changing. “It is such a blessing for families like mine,” she says. Your generous giving to the Great Plains Food Bank helps families access food for their children, as well as necessary household goods.
Thank you for all you do for our neighbors, this summer and all year round!
