Nicole's Motto. To be able to serve my community is not only an important role for me with Brazosport Cares; it is an honor. The accessibility to nutritious foods can be a second thought to some of our day-to-day routines and necessities. My experience through our Free Farmers Markets has opened my eyes to the needs of our community. I attended one of our Farmers Markets recently and met a very engaging and friendly woman; we can call her Claudine. Upon meeting Claudine conversation was easy and small talked about the weather, children and grandchildren, and about what brought her to our Free Farmers Market. Claudine lives in the West of the Brazos community. Within this community, are many homebound Senior Citizens. Many of these Senior Citizens live on meager means and are faced daily with the choice to pay for food or afford necessities like utilities. Much of the West of the Brazos community is surrounded by what is called a “food desert,” and these communities often only have convenient stores for people to purchase food. Claudine was gathering food to deliver to many of her homebound, senior neighbors. I walked Claudine to her car and to load up all of the fresh produce and healthy options for her neighbors, and she asked me a simple question. “Would it be trouble if I went back and got food for myself?” Claudine shared with me that she was on her last bit of her paycheck and her husband was unemployed. She, too, did not know where food would come from until the next payday. Tears came to my eyes because Claudine put others simple nutritional needs before her own dietary needs. Claudine is a Hunger Hero because she recognizes the importance of other's before herself to ensure they are healthy. Because of Claudine, I have made created my motto: In a world full of Nicoles. Be a Claudine. ***Important Information*** For FBC Sweeny and Brazosport Cares Food Pantry to provide the most positive experience at our monthly Free Farmers Market, we changed our date for September. We will now hold our monthly Free Farmers Market on Monday, September 30 at 3:30 pm with FBC Sweeny located at 402 Main St. Sweeny, TX 77480. For more information, please visit, www.brazosportcars.org THANK YOU EagleBurgmann for volunteering and providing a fun experience for our families during our Brazoria Free Farmers Market on Friday, September 13th. Through rain and shine, heat and humidity, EagleBurgmann's volunteers had a smile on their faces and helped our families gather fresh foods to take home! EagleBurgmann you all are Hunger Heroes and thank you for all of your help on Friday! Free Farmers Markets are vital to our organization. They create access to free and fresh food to a part of our community who experience high rates of food insecurity due to limited access to nutritious foods. Brazosport Cares relies heavily on our volunteers who make our Farmers Markets a success. Thank you, again, EagleBurgmann for being Hunger Heroes! #HungerActionMonth #brazosportcares #volunteer #eagleburgmann #houston #freeport #brazoria #community Nothing runs on empty! You can fill the tank by volunteering, donating or being an advocate today! Meet Irene When the dismissal bell rings to end the school week for students, teachers, and administrators to go home for the weekend, hunger begins for many. Families like Irene's. Irene's family is on disability due to health problems and finds it difficult to make ends meet. "Our money [is] used to pay necessary bills, leaving us short to buy food until we get our food card (SNAP) one to two weeks later." Irene shared. "The Powerpack program is a blessing and helps my family have enough food to eat until we get our food card to buy food for our family." Take action and help families like Irene's family. For more information to volunteer or donate, please visit, www.brazosportcares.org Meet Patti! Patti is a former school teacher and has witnessed that children perform better when they have regular nutritious meals. She explains that volunteering allows her to combine her simple efforts with others to meet a more significant need than she could do on her own. Patti has volunteered for the Powerpack program for nearly seven years with Brazosport Cares and initially with True to Life Ministries. Helping our community is a motto for Patti, and she states, "[when] you step outside of yourself and help others; it's a blessing, and you become a better person." Thank you for what you do and for ensuring our local students get enough to eat. Your selfless character amazes us all! We will always be so grateful to you. Brazosport Cares family at Empty Bowls 🍵
