“Thank you, thank you, thank you! We are so grateful for the food we received today. It means so much to use as a family of six to have a week’s worth of meals taken care of. It has lightened a mental burden and given us some relief. Bless you, Monica, and your volunteers for bringing such help to our community. We love and appreciate the work you do, and we hope to give back as you do. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.”

“This pantry helped my family so much with the food items I was given. I literally had almost nothing to fee my three children and two adults. We usually budget and manage ourselves, but these past few months have been a major struggle with prices going up. My two little ones are underweight, so anything helps to get them where they need to be. I appreciate the help and hope I can one day return the favor for someone else.”

“Stronghold Food Pantry provided relief and lessened a burden on my family. My children were overjoyed with their fruit snacks and cereal. The apples were gone within minutes of them coming home from school. We had a barbecue chicken night, and we’ve had spaghetti night. After seeing them smile and knowing that they’re getting everything they need and we’re not as stressed after receiving help, I’ve already put in my volunteer application to help others. Stronghold is a godsend with everything they do for military families during times of insecurity. I can’t thank them enough.”

“I absolutely love how kind Stronghold is. I think it’s great when people come together to help out families in need. It’s been hard with inflation and so many children. My kids had lunches for a week, and I’m grateful for that.”

“Since the pandemic, Stronghold has been a huge support for our family, and we are truly thankful. Help came during a time when everything changed so quickly. Stronghold made a big difference in our lives when we needed it most. Now, with prices going up, it’s a struggle to keep up with the daily needs of our family, especially since I can’t work due to the health needs and therapy appointments for my boys. Our family is doing our best, but it’s not always easy. Having Stronghold’s support means we can breathe a little easier, focus on caring for our children, and work toward a more stable future. Thank you for being there during hard times. Your kindness gives families like ours real hope and strength to keep moving forward.”
