Big things come in small packages

It’s easy to miss Terry; she stands less than 5 feet tall. She lives alone in her tiny apartment near Pandosy Street.

Terry visits the food bank once a month, she has no choice. Her rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia prevent her from working. Her $900 disability pension leaves very little money for food once her rent and utilities are paid.

The first thing you discover about Terry when you meet her is her positive outlook and compassion. She hopes to be able to work and support herself again one day.

Terry is one of our Special Needs clients receiving an assortment of immune boosting and hypo-allergenic foods.

For Terry, the food bank is about much more than food, it’s about people caring for others. She knows firsthand how easy it is for people to miss the need around them.

Terry hopes her story will cast light on the reasons behind hunger. One day, she hopes to return some of what she has been given to others.

Please give to the food bank and Cast-A-Light for Terry today.
