Kathy and her husband make less than $20k a year on Social Security, just enough for rent and utilities. She’s grateful for the nutritional food provided by those who donate.

They are among the almost 400 seniors served at Amazing Grace Food Pantry. So good to see our seniors living a healthier, happier life without the stress of worrying where their next meal will come from.

Almost 12 percent of Texans – 3.2 million people – are 65 and older and the number is growing. By 2050 that figure is expected to increase to almost 20 percent. This increase of the older adult population will likely mean an increase in the need for all types of health and human services such as health care, home care, personal care and long-term care.

Pantries play a vital role for many seniors living on fixed incomes. Partnerships with area Food Banks and the USDA ensure that organizations like Amazing Grace Food Pantry are able to meet the growing need.
