School's Out for the Summer, but Hunger Doesn’t Take a Vacation!

Jessica, age 37, has a nine-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son. Before coming to The Open Door for SNAP (Food Stamps) application assistance and free groceries, she carefully priced out every meal and made concessions for less healthy options to stretch her dollars at the grocery store.

“Our food budget is almost as much as rent for the month,” Jessica says. “To keep food on the table, especially good food, is so difficult. We’re lucky to have help.”

Today, Jessica is able to get healthier options to make more nutritious meals for her children, for example a homemade chicken dinner instead of a frozen pizza. She also gets fruits and vegetables they enjoy, including grapes, clementines, and strawberries.

Yes! We are looking for everyday heroes to turn worry into hope.

We're not asking you to do anything dramatic. Just make a donation. Maybe $50, $100, or even $500. Any amount that makes sense for you. Because that’s how we can make sure Jessica and other parents can breathe easier, knowing they have the food their families need to grow and thrive during the months they are not in school. Your gift can turn worry into HOPE.

Every contribution counts. Donate today and make an immediate impact!
