Alexis was first a volunteer at the Andrews Food Pantry, a Food Bank Partner Agency, before she began to utilize the pantry resources to help ensure her two sons — Noriel, 3, and Henry, 6 – have the healthy food they need to thrive.
Although Alexis’s husband is working, the couple is considering other ways to add income, even looking into opening their own business.
Often when Alexis visits the Food Pantry, she has one or both of her sons with her. The boys love tagging along.
“They sometimes even give [my] children snacks such as animal crackers…so they have something to eat when they come visit the pantry,” Alexis shares.
She appreciates grocery items like fish, beef, chicken, eggs and vegetables. And her boys like the cereal and bread.
For friends like you, Alexis says, “I am so thankful for the people who give.”
Thank you for your partnership, which helps fill empty plates with nourishing meals for families like Alexis’s.
