These days, food insecurity is a burden for many in our community. Marie M. Bowser sees it most among the seniors in her life. Thanks to you, she can visit the Bon Secours Healthy Food Pantry and help her elderly family members and neighbors. Your gift makes sure the pantry is well stocked. People of all ages can get fresh produce, meats, cheeses and canned goods. 

“They don’t drive or have anybody. They are unable to get out, so I go for them,” Marie says. “They seem to be happy with the things I bring them.” 

Marie says she is proud to see the joy on their faces when she shows up with their food deliveries each week. 

“It makes me feel like I’m giving back in some way to them,” she says. “It’s just a service that I’m giving them and that makes me feel good.” 

Marie is grateful that your donations help fight hunger in her community. Because of your generosity, the Bon Secours Healthy Food Pantry now has a permanent, standalone location. 

The pantry once shared a space and was only open on Mondays. The limited space made it hard to serve as many people as needed. Now, volunteers can stock shelves and sort food donations throughout the week, so the pantry is ready to help more people when they need it most. 

“Thank you,” Marie says. “We appreciate your generosity. Your donations are feeding people.”
