Thank You Chase Oaks Woodbridge and the entire Sachse/Wylie community for the 1100 pounds of food donated to Amazing Grace Food Pantry during the Here For Good Sunday event! The rain didn’t slow you down a bit!
This will help so many families, many that need food assistance for the first time with job loss during COVID-19.
Amazing Grace Food Pantry is serving 76% more families compared to 2019. This number will grow over the next few months as the stimulus check funds deplete.
We hope they will get back to their jobs in June, but many families will continue to need food assistance to catch up on bills that have gone unpaid during this pandemic.

My adult son Judah and I started to volunteer at Amazing Grace food pantry about 7 months ago. We were looking for something to get us out of the house, having been a stay at home mom for many years.
We wanted to try it for 1 day a week to start with, just to “see” how it was there. Once we started there we discovered the awesome staff and other volunteers that made us feel so very welcome. It wasn’t too long before we decided to give more than 1 day.
We really enjoy the family atmosphere and the fact that everyone working there comes from all different walks of life. It’s very refreshing to me and it’s bringing a much richer dimension to our lives that we are so thankful for to this day. Besides this there comes the joy of helping people feed their families. Unless you work there you have no idea how much food passes through the doors each week nor how many people are helped.
We also love to see all the different ages come to volunteer, from family’s with young children to senior citizen’s. Everyone can have place to fill at Amazing Grace! My only regret is that we did not find Amazing Grace sooner!
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!
