Amazing Grace Food Pantry served 319 families during November with nutritious groceries – some every week, others less often, but all received an abundance for their Thanksgiving table – thanks to YOUR faithful support!
Through your community support: 98 seniors have a little less to worry about and won’t skip a meal. 585 children have proper nutrition to build strong bodies and minds for a healthier future.
Along with neighbors donating volunteer hours and canned goods for families, we’d like to thank Operation Kindness for pet food donations! Pets are an important part of a family and need proper nutrition, too.
Fundraising Announcement: Painting with a Purpose is holding a fundraising event featuring Wylie Painting with a Twist artists teaching the painting “Cherry Harvest”. All proceeds, every penny, from this event will go to Amazing Grace Food Pantry to help in the Fight Against Hunger in the Wylie community. Join us January 22nd.

A client wrote a poem for the pantry to share with the community. Thank you, Sally!
Stagnant waters breed disease,
