A single mom of three, Kathrine moved herself and her kids to the Ozarks to help care for her grandparents as their health declined. Their new life in southwest Missouri looks a lot different from their old home on the east coast, trading oceans and rivers for hills and cows, the Outer Banks for a mini farm – and one job for three to make ends meet.
This holiday season, many families in southwest Missouri are facing hunger. Some families will have to choose between putting food on the table and heating their homes. Your generous year-end gift to Ozarks Food Harvest can change that.
As you gather with loved ones to celebrate this holiday season, I encourage you to consider an investment in Ozarks Food Harvest. In southwest Missouri, 1 in 5 children and 1 in 6 adults don’t know where their next meal will come from, much less a warm holiday meal. Your act of generosity can make a life-changing difference.
For more than 30 years, Texas County Food Pantry has been a lifeline for neighbors facing hunger in Missouri’s largest county. That’s why Ozarks Food Harvest is proud to celebrate our 36-year-long partnership with a great pantry this December.
At a time when 1 in 5 children and 1 in 6 adults in Ozarks Food Harvest’s service area face hunger, missing a paycheck or not having money for groceries is devastating.
