Between transportation, housing, food and other necessary costs, Vanessa says her family simply doesn’t have any extra. A mom of four boys, Vanessa started working about six months ago in Plano—a job for which she’s thankful. However, she says, living in South Dallas means the cost of commuting eats into her pay and makes it difficult to afford the groceries her kids need. Thankfully, her son’s school told her about Dallas ISD’s Resource Center South , where she can shop twice a month in the pantry, run by NTFB partner Brother Bill’s Helping Hand. “This helps me a lot,” she says. “It helps a lot.” resourcecentersouth brotherbillshelpinghand #DallasCommunity #FoodInsecurity #HelpingFamilies #NorthTexasFoodBank #CommunitySupport
