Natalia has a bright smile and a hopeful outlook on the future for herself and her extended family. Your generosity is bringing her one step closer to her goal of building a better life by helping keep nutritious food on the table.
Three years ago, Natalia moved to West Texas where she lives with her sister. Spanish is her first language, but she is working hard to improve her English skills to set herself up for a successful new career.
“I am hopeful for the future,” Natalia shares. “I know it takes time, but I believe things will get better.”
In the meantime, Natalia focuses on being the best sister and the best aunt to her nephew that she can be.
Your support means that Natalia can pick up nutritious groceries for her family at St. James Missionary Baptist Church, a Food Bank agency partner.
“I’m very grateful for the help I’ve received, especially the food,” Natalia says. “It’s been a blessing for my family.”
Natalia’s favorite foods to receive are chicken, rice, and beans. She also appreciates the hot meals St. James Missionary Baptist Church provides.
Your generosity means that more West Texans like Natalia have access to the nourishing meals needed to live a healthy, fulfilling life. Thank you.
