With an increase of clients and a shortage of food, the Network of Community Ministries is asking the North Texas community to help supply food for the nonprofit.
“We are having trouble actually purchasing food at this point,” Network CEO Cindy Shafer told Community Impact Newspaper. “The North Texas Food Bank is running low on the food that they have, and that is our primary source of food.”
The Network of Community Ministries supported about 50 families a day before the pandemic hit, according to Community Impact. Since then, the number of families visiting has doubled.
The pantry is asking for canned goods, pasta, jelly, peanut butter, cereal, rice and beans.
“We've doubled our regular pantry, and then added to that,” Shafer told Community Impact. “I just appreciate this community rallying around us so that we can help our neighbors."
