Plano wealthiest city in America -with hungry people


I read that Plano was the weathiest city in America and as I open Minnie's Food Pantry every day and look into thye eyes of hungry people it reminds me of scripture in the bible:
Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

If you want true wealth, serve others and watch the rewards.

WOW what a day!




We served 27 people and 98 families today! This was also a great day for deliveries. Market Street out did themselves with all the fresh deli sandwhiches, cheese, and meats they donated today. It was unbelieveable.. That combined with our special North Texas Food Bank delivery we are getting off to a pretty awesome start this week! We love our community partners!

Another steady day at MINNIE'S FOOD PANTRY


The continuous rain throughout North Dallas, has caused some not to risk a trip out this week. Though many decided to stay in today, all were not discouraged.

Minnie's Food Pantry still served, 13 FAMILIES AND 61 INDIVIDUALS! Every day is a good day, when your helping end hunger in North Texas.

MINNIE'S FOOD PANTRY REPORTING!





It's been a while since I've documented, but we are as busy as ever. Today is Tuesday, one of our busier days here at Minnie's West Plano Food Pantry, but due to the rain, our clients have trickled in. (There's usually a line forming before we can open our doors!) However, we still managed to serve 19 families/and 68 individuals. That's not our typical staggering number for a Tuesday morning, but enough to be noticed on a rainy day.


Since Minnie's Food pantry's upgrade to Client's Choice,(a pantry that allow its clients to choose only the foods they eat) we have received so many new applicants!We are also happy to report that our volunteer base & random food drive assistance has grown as well!

Our clients have revealed that they feel independent, and more loved when they walk through the doors at Minnie's Food Pantry. It's hard to deny, we are greeted with more smiles now, than the embarrassed faces we had grown accustomed to seeing. Knowing that we are helping people feel better, while in their difficult situation, put smiles on our faces too!!
