Christine was raised to be a giver and to care for others, and she lives as an example of that. After moving around the country for her career over the years, she settled in Kittanning in 2014 to care for her mother. Christine now spends her free time volunteering in her community.
But Christine is also on a special diet, and her fixed income doesn’t always stretch far enough to afford the nutritious food she needs. She’s thankful she can rely on the food pantry at Grace Presbyterian Church to supplement the limited amount she receives in food stamps, especially at the end of the month when her resources are depleted.
“The Food Bank has been a blessing to me lately,” Christine says. “Right now I have no food in my refrigerator.”
She appreciates that she can stock her pantry and her fridge with food from the distributions here, thanks to support from friends like you. And if she receives items she can’t use, she passes them on to others, which is an added bonus for her.
“Every little bit helps,” she says.
