"It’s important for me to share my story...I want people to know that it’s okay to need help every once in a while, it’s normal. More people struggle with food insecurity than we think. I want to help take away that stigma."

"I started coming when the year started because I lost my job. Times are really hard but we are out here. I do what I have to do to get my family fed. It’s worth standing in the cold to get this for your family. It’s a blessing."
