For Valerie, a student at a local high school, Food Share has become a steady source of comfort and nourishment for her family. Living with her mom and four siblings, she says the healthy food they receive makes a real difference.
“The food you guys give is very helpful,” Valerie says. “It’s healthy and it really helps families who can’t always afford groceries.”
Her favorite part? “The fruit—especially on hot days. My siblings and I really like it.”
Valerie remembers feeling unsure the first time her family attended a food distribution. “We were confused, but the helpers were so kind. They gave us directions and told us when we could come back.”
Now, when her family needs support, they know where to turn. “This has helped us because it shows us where we can get food when we don’t have any,” she shares.
When asked what she wishes people understood about hunger, Valerie says simply, “There are places like this that really help. There’s always free food out there when you need it.”
Her hopes for the future are heartfelt and simple: “For my family to be happier and healthier.” And to those who make Food Share’s work possible, Valerie offers a message from the heart:
“Thank you very much. You guys are very helpful, and God will bless you.” — Valerie 🧡
