There are many faces of hunger. It could be a coworker, a neighbor, or even a family member.

When we met Michelle, she was waiting to receive groceries at our Mobile Food Distribution in Jackson Parish. She told us that money was tight right now for her family, and that her and her husband were staying at a travel trailer park with their two children.

“This helps,” she said. “I’m thankful for anything.”

Michelle said she has previously visited a Food Bank food pantry in Jonesboro to help make ends meet.

“We visited a pantry to help us get on our feet,” she said. “We didn’t have anything in our refrigerator because we were paying bills.”

Our neighbors face tough decisions every day. Please help lift up a neighbor in need by supporting the Food Bank’s hunger-relief efforts. Visit foodbanknela.org/donate today.
