Lucille and her mother Ruth have been coming to our Mobile Food Pantry Program in Hurley, WI, for more than four years. After Ruth’s husband moved into a nursing home, she moved in with her adult daughter.
“The food we receive from you keeps us from going hungry,” shares Ruth. “We’re so grateful.”
Ruth receives only $16 per month from social security, which makes our monthly program vital. She lives with her daughter to save on expenses, and maintains a close mother-daughter connection playing board games and doing puzzles. The connection is special for Ruth. They also love to cook and bake together and greatly enjoy the fruits and vegetables they receive from us.
We often hear “food is love” and there’s no greater gift than the support you provide which ensures food and a mother-daughter connection for neighbors like Lucille and Ruth.
