Wolfe City, Texas -- Think for a moment about last night: You got hungry so you opened your refrigerator and pondered what part of the abundance in view you'd make for supper. But what if you didn't have a choice? What if the only thing in your refrigerator was a half gallon of expired milk and a partial can of beans? Or even worse - what if all you saw were empty shelves?

Many of us have a hard time imagining what it must be like to go hungry. But the truth is there are many in our community who experience that terrible reality every day. Hunger isn't limited to any one group. It affects children, young adults, single parents, those living alone, the elderly - all demographics.

With the approaching colder weather, the Wolfe City Food Pantry is more focused than ever on providing healthy food to those in need. But we need your help! Times are tough, our incoming donations are down and our once-full warehouse is showing lots of empty space. Won't you help us to help them?

Monetary donations are always the most efficient and easiest way to help. Through our partnership with the North Texas Food Bank we have access to food at very little cost. Using your donation we can obtain vital healthy nutrition for as little as $0.14 per pound!

You can even go one further - how about getting your employer involved and have them match your donation? It's not only a great community effort but you've also just DOUBLED your own call to action! You can mail a tax-deductible donation to:

Non-perishable food drives are also helpful and very much appreciated. With the holiday of thankfulness right around the corner many people are not only counting their blessings, but feeling the tug to share those blessings with their neighbors in need. How about hosting a non-perishable food drive at your church, school or place of employment? If you would like to hold a food drive, please contact Sandra Woodruff at 903-413-1820.

Any donation at all, large or small, is a gift of love. You won't know the people you've helped, but you'll know that you've HELPED MANY!
