Jeanne began visiting the Food Bank partner agency in Columbia when she and her husband began having financial struggles.
“Me and my husband were both on low incomes, and we needed the help,” she said.
Jeanne said receiving groceries from the Food Bank helps them reduce their grocery bill each month so they can afford medications her husband needs.
“This helps us out a lot,” she shared.
