“I’m Very Thankful”
Tristian faces a challenge that many people can relate to: feeding teenagers!
Her household of five includes herself and her husband, their daughter, and their two teenage boys. Feeding a crew this size could be a difficult task for anyone, and Tristian and her husband are no exception. Tristian works a seasonal job and has difficulty finding short-term employment during her off-season. Her husband works as well, but their combined income just isn’t enough to make ends meet.
“It’s really hard,” she says. “My kids can tell you that there are days that I will feed them and I won’t feed myself.”
So Tristian and her family visit Feeding Our Communities with United Services (FOCUS) Food Pantry in Wisconsin Rapids each month. They’re grateful for the meat and fresh produce they’re able to put on their table, thanks to kind donors like you.
“I’m very thankful,” she says. “We would probably just be eating ramen noodles.”
Tristian says summer becomes an even bigger challenge because the kids no longer get breakfasts and lunches at school during the week. She has to figure out how to provide even more food during those months, so she is especially thankful to have FOCUS Food Pantry right there to help.
Your continued support makes all the difference for families like Tristian’s. Thank you!
