Joe was a carpenter for decades… until a 2010 workplace accident almost killed him.
A serious head injury resulted in a brain hematoma — and an early involuntary retirement. His doctor’s astute medical advice: “Just don’t hit your head again.”
Joe had to leave the woodworking behind, and the income that went with it. He now lives solely on Social Security and SNAP benefits, “and it just doesn’t cut it,” Joe says. His wife works, but they’re barely making ends meet. “We get the bills paid,” he says.
But after the bills, there’s not much left for groceries. So Joe is super grateful for the Food Bank’s drive-through distributions.
“Thank you,” he said recently after picking up some food and essentials. “It means a lot.”
Your goodness helps brings hope and peace to seniors like Joe and his wife.
