Dana’s priority is supporting her daughter’s family, especially making sure her grandchildren are happy and healthy. That’s why she moved to Kansas — to be close enough to help care for her family.
“At first, my daughter was like, ‘I don’t want my mom living that close to me.’ But now? She’s like, ‘Where are you, Mom? Do you have any of this?” Dana says with a laugh.
Dana works in the cafeteria at her granddaughter’s elementary school. She enjoys being so near to family at work, but unfortunately, the income she makes is not always enough for healthy groceries.
Partners like you make it possible for Dana to visit a Kansas Food Bank agency partner, Obidiah’s Pantry in Anthony, to pick up fresh produce, healthy staples and wholesome ingredients, which help Dana manage her prediabetes.
“Sometimes even just the meat is a lifesaver,” Dana continues, noting that the price of protein can be a huge hit to her grocery budget.
Because of friends like you, Dana can support her health, care for her community, and focus on what matters most — family.
