A Grateful Mother Thanks You

Norma and Ivan
Norma and her family are thankful to have access to healthy food.

The high cost of groceries and other necessities have made putting healthy food on the table a challenge for many Montgomery County families – like Norma’s. 

Norma’s family was getting by, but her advancing pregnancy made it difficult to be on her feet all day as a full-time cook at a restaurant. Her unexpectedly extended maternity leave meant an already tight budget was stretched too thin.

Her eldest children, Rosa and Jonathan, receive meals at school, which is a huge help. But feeding her growing family on weekends, holidays and in the evenings was a struggle. Norma knew she needed help to feed her children and to keep herself nourished for the sake of the baby on the way.

Thankfully a friend told Norma about one of our partner pantries, Community Assistance Center (CAC).

It was Norma’s first time to visit a food pantry. She was amazed to learn that caring supporters like you make it possible for Montgomery County Food Bank to ensure a family going through a difficult time has access to nutritious food. 

“I need nourishment for my baby,” Norma explained. And that’s exactly what she received, thanks to you -- fresh fruits and veggies, lean meats and healthy snacks.

“It’s a big help,” she said, knowing that she can pick up fresh food to cover her budget gap and keep herself and her children well-fed. 

On behalf of families like Norma’s, thank you for your partnership that takes hunger off the table here in Montgomery County!
