N2N Food Program
Submitted by centrosanjose on Tue, 05/12/2009 - 14:53
Mr. Dewitt is a single dad raising two small children who found himself without a job during the winter months. Because he does not qualify for food stamps, Mr. Dewitt has been struggling to provide food for his family. A friend told Mr. Dewitt about the food pantry at Centro San Jose so he decided to come and apply. Mr. Dewitt and his family have come to get food each week since then and are truly grateful for the help. Because of the Neighbor to Neighbor program, this particular obstacle was removed and Mr. Dewitt was able to focus on employment and supporting his children. Since spring is here he has been called back to work and both he and his children are doing great. Mr. Dewitt stated that he was very grateful for the ability to choose what types of food he and his family wanted and needed, rather than being handed a pre- packed bag. He was also grateful for the fresh fruit and produce he was given each week.
