You Helped Janice Through a Difficult Time

Janice worked hard her entire life and retired with what she thought was a comfortable nest egg. She was looking forward to a well-deserved retirement and spending quality time with her grandkids. Then the effects of inflation wiped out her savings.

Her daughter is currently living with her and they are both struggling with the high cost of food and living expenses. Now at 72 years old, Janice is discovering that her social security income is no longer enough. She is now relying more and more on credit cards for basic needs and the rising interest rates are taking their toll. Day by day, Janice found herself sinking further into worry and anxiety.

With nowhere else to turn, she came to St. Mary’s Food Bank for help. Janice let out a huge sigh of relief when she saw a variety of bread, produce, and meat available, including some items she hadn’t been able to buy for a long time. She was especially grateful for the pork loins.

She wanted to thank St. Mary’s and the donors for providing this nutritious food to her family and helping her through a tough time. “This food helps a lot and makes a BIG difference,” she said.
