Kathy enjoys cooking nourishing meals for her 16-year-old granddaughter, Layla. Thanks to friends like you, Kathy will have plenty of fresh and wholesome ingredients on hand this summer.
When Kathy gained custody of Layla, she shares that she found a renewed sense of purpose.
Kathy and her husband built a beautiful, blended family. They shared a life of love together, and although he has since passed, that love carries on. Many of their children and grandchildren live nearby.
Before retiring, Kathy was a pharmacy technician. But unfortunately, her Social Security income and widow’s pension often don’t stretch far enough to afford the nutritious groceries she and Layla need to live a happy and healthy life.
“Prior to me getting my granddaughter, I would be struggling, but it was only me…” shares Kathy on how caring for her granddaughter has impacted her.
Because of the compassion of friends like you, Kathy can visit an agency partner of the Kansas Food Bank to pick up nutritious food.
Kathy also recently participated in the Good Food at Home program, a three-month initiative with Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA). Through this program, the Kansas Food Bank worked with PHA to provide participants with Instacart credits, helping neighbors access fresh fruits and vegetables.
Now, Kathy can make the healthy meals Layla needs to thrive.
Thank you for helping put nutritious food within reach of every Kansan this summer!
