Food has always been at the heart of Janice's life. "I'm a cake decorator," she beams. Four years ago, she retired and closed her cake business, though she still enjoys baking for her loved ones.
Like many older adults in our community, Janice faces the challenge of attempting to live on a fixed income. She turned to her local food pantry for support two years ago when the cost of food began to increase.
Thanks to the generous support of our community, Janice can focus on savoring the simple pleasures of life — like the art of cake decorating — without the constant worry of where her next meal will come from.
"I'm grateful," Janice says. "Their generosity means a lot to people who can't afford to buy groceries. It means a lot that people are that generous."
