“[This program] definitely helps because I was struggling …being on a fixed income—utilities and doctor co-pays take up all the extra money that I have so there’s hardly any for groceries. I’m just grateful to be able to receive this help because I don’t know what I would have done, it was very difficult for me…so at least I don’t have to worry about what I’m going to eat. I thank you all!”
-Shirley Johnson, disabled, food box recipient
