Cedar Hill Food Pantry in Need
May 31, 2008
When the economy struggles, so do some of the people on the fringe. And the Cedar Hill Food Pantry is there to help.
This demographic — often called the ‘working poor’ — has been on the rise lately. Nearly 300 people have been added to the food pantry rolls since the beginning of the year.
Several weeks ago I was talking to Greg Patton, another one of our City Council Members, who works at the food pantry at least one day a week. He told me that in all his years, he has never seen such a demand for food.
Because of the increased need, the stock of food is running low.
The food pantry buys the food in bulk from the North Texas Food Pantry, so they can make every dollar go far — each dollar feeds 5 people.
Please help contribute, if you can.
