Food for "Alicia's" Family

Alicia is worried. She just paid the rent and was able to find a little extra to get the kids a few outfits for school at the St. Vincent Center Thrift Store. She is not sure where the extra money is going to come from for groceries until she gets paid again. She remembers seeing a sign for a Food Bank when she picked up the school clothes. Maybe that will help her get through the next couple of weeks… She pulls up to the Food Bank on Tuesday morning. A kind volunteer offers her rice and beans with her box of food, which she gladly takes. There are fresh vegetables, some meat, a loaf of bread, and some peanut butter. Plus, there are even some pastries that she can share with the kids for an after-school snack. This will get her by until the next payday. Be that kind volunteer to help Alicia through to the next payday. Volunteer at St. Vincent Center Food Bank.
