Meet LaToya and Unique
When our neighbors were impacted by the government shutdown and SNAP disruption, our team helped spread the word about our mobile pantry texting schedule and other locations they could find food resources.
We met LaToya and her bubbly 8-year-old daughter, Unique, who felt lucky to be able to shop with her mom because school was closed for Election Day.
Mom shared, “I came to the mobile pantry because I have two children and they cut our SNAP benefits. It's helped me a lot. Just getting food in the house, making sure your kids are good...you guys are amazing."
Unique showed off her favorite food from the shopping that day, macaroni and cheese, as mom was visible relieved.
"I mean, they gave me things that I didn't even think that they were going to give me. The bread comes in handy. The onions, I needed. Everything in there I basically needed. I can make a meal out of it. My daughter loves macaroni and cheese, she’ll just make it and eat it all."
