The Christmas Season has officially started at Amazing Grace Food Pantry! Winter temperatures are here – we welcomed the Christmas Season by distributing Christmas turkeys and sides along with regular grocery cart full of food to 140 families this week. Lots of tomatoes, pears and melons were among the fresh produce available.

Special thanks to these that donated this week
YOU have made a difference in the homes of so many in Collin County by your act of kindness!

  • A nearby neighbor and our fellow pantry, Good Samaritan, for donating plenty of eggs to distribute to each family – a real treat!
  • Other neighbors dropped of several donations to help with the Christmas dinner distribution.
  • Gateway Church who donate a selected special item each month, this month sugar!
  • LDS Church held a food drive last week and brought in 240 pounds of needed canned goods.
  • Wylie High School National Honor Society donated hundreds of pounds of canned goods and cash towards stocking shelves.

Items such as sugar, oil, laundry soap, dish soap and toilet paper are the non-food items that are rarely donated are special treats and are welcomed donations throughout the year.

Jessi and her girls take time out of their busy summer to volunteer every Tuesday to serve clients. They fill boxes full with meats, ice cream, coffee, pet food and any hygiene products needed. The girls have fun decorating the client boxes with designs and smiley faces to bring cheer to struggling families each week.
