I Thank God That They’re Here

Casey is facing quite the challenge feeding three growing children. And two of them are teenagers!

A household of five can be difficult for anyone to feed. But Casey has had health problems recently, and she’s not able to work full time. Unfortunately, her part-time work makes her ineligible for disability income. That means her husband’s job has to cover all the bills, and it just doesn’t stretch far enough. Even with some food assistance, things get really tight by the end of the month … so tight that the parents sometimes forgo food so their kids can eat.

So Casey and her family visit FOCUS (Feeding Our Communities with United Services) Food Pantry in Wisconsin Rapids once a month to fill the gap until the next paycheck comes. They’re so grateful for the meat and vegetables (and other delicious foods!) they’re able to put on their table, thanks to supporters like you. Casey sums up your impact well: “If the pantry weren’t here, my kids wouldn’t eat towards the end of the month. I thank God that they’re here.”

Your continued support makes all the difference for families like Casey’s.
