Cathy Weber, New Hope member and school social worker, writes:
"Thank you New Hope Presbyterian for helping to fill the Fort Myers High School food pantry! We have approximately 1800 students and it really is such a blessing to know if a student comes to school hungry or is going home to an empty refrigerator that we can immediately meet that need with food from the pantry until we see them again at school. Some of our students have temporary homes, are designated homeless, are living in a hotel, or are going between homes frequently and while we can’t always fix the family circumstances, we are able to ensure they have food for the night because of your help! The needs can feel overwhelming so we are grateful for your partnership with us in this way so we know we aren’t alone in this work. We can’t help our students learn if their basic needs aren’t being met, so thank you so much for helping us ensure our students aren’t struggling with food insecurity so they can focus on learning!”
