Hear from our partners

“I am pregnant and was told by my OB to drink a lot of milk. My income is limited, and I have not been able to afford milk. I feel good knowing that I am giving my baby something nutritious and at the same time I love to drink real milk. Thank you all so much.”
– Rita Z., Bridge City/Orangefield Ministerial Alliance Bridge City, Texas
“Thank you so much for having milk on hand for us. My husband has many health issues and not much of an appetite but can tolerate the milk and he loves to drink it. We are struggling financially, so this milk has truly been a blessing for my husband.”
– Kelsea B., Center of HopeLivingston, Texas
“I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and I would typically sacrifice other food items just so I could get a half gallon of milk. Now I don't have to do that. I truly appreciate being able to get this milk from the pantry.”
– Margie G., United Christian Care Center Vidor, Texas
“This has been incredible for us to have milk monthly. COVID-19 made us all sick and we have since lost our jobs. Making ends meet is hard, and having this milk has made one less thing I have had to spend money on. We truly appreciate this help with the milk.”
– Daisy P., Caring is SharingWoodville, Texas

– Jen S., Community Care Prayer OutreachNederland, Texas

– Jeanette H., Hope Food PantryBeaumont, Texas
