What a difference a year makes!
1st Quarter 2018 compared to 1st Quarter 2017
Amazing Grace Food Pantry is providing nutritional food to over 30% more people than last year’s first quarter. The need continues to grow.
Thanks to our sponsors and many volunteers, we opened the doors to new facility the end of March. The Grand Opening scheduled for Friday, April 6th. The client families love the large covered patio with seating and produce shopping, indoor seating and larger indoor shopping area to select more food.
Community Power
In March, we had the privilege to meet and work with these amazing young ladies! Full of energy and respect.
Thank you Lake Point Fuel Team for cleaning out storage room!
Thank you Girl Scout Troop 9374 for stocking shelves!
Their art project was to draw and list what people need. Among the list of food and shelter, they listed “each other”… these are our future leaders!
Call 972-292-7241 to schedule a tour or volunteer day with your family, youth group or scouts this summer. One hour, or a whole day, that will change your life!
Volunteering at Amazing Grace Food Pantry has been very gratifying to me. In fact, I often gain more than I give, by allowing me to contribute to a worthwhile cause, I help people in need.
It has also given me the opportunity to communicate and build bonds with others while also working on my self-confidence. Amazing Grace has taught me the value of orderliness and hard work. I see so much food being distributed and yet they still manage to pull it all together and get the job done. It has been a pleasure volunteering at Amazing Grace Food Pantry, I appreciate the opportunity to serve.
Take the time to read some of the testimonials from clients and volunteers on our website. Volunteer or donate this year. It will bless you!
