George, 55, is well versed in hard work and determination. A U.S. Army veteran and longtime oil field professional, his top priority is providing for his loved ones.
These days, George is navigating a period of change, focusing on finding stability and keeping his family supported.
We recently met George at the Salvation Army, a Food Bank agency partner, where he receives food for his family.
Though he describes himself as “very prideful” and initially hesitant to ask for help, George is grateful for the support he receives from the Salvation Army, a Food Bank partner agency, that allows him to keep moving forward.
“Sometimes a person just needs to reach out for help. Swallow your pride and do what you have to do for your family.”
With the oil field slowdown causing inconsistent work, George is actively seeking new work opportunities. But even amid uncertainty, he remains committed to his family — his wife Virginia, and their three adult children who all live nearby — and to staying positive through life’s ups and downs.
Your generosity doesn’t just help fill plates — it gives neighbors hope and strengthens determination to keep moving forward.
