Alain’s story
Finding nourishment & community
After retiring, Alain moved to Texas to be closer to her grandchildren. She lived on a fixed income and struggled to pay rent and other bills. Even though she received food stamps, Alain could not afford quality groceries like fresh meat and produce. She was stuck eating toast or cereal for dinner until she found CCD and the Ennis Container Pantry. After driving past the pantry several times, Alain finally stopped to see if they could provide relief.
CCD staff quickly assisted her, and she left the Ennis Container Pantry that day with food and an appointment to return twice a month. Alain was thrilled to find out that she could choose what she needed from the selection of fresh vegetables, meat, eggs, and pantry staples. Thanks to CCD’s pantry, Alain has enriched her life and diet. She is now eating balanced meals, losing weight, and has more energy. However, Alain said the help from the pantry did not end there. It has also provided her with a community of people who care for her.
Alain shared that moving to Texas was difficult since she left her circle of friends and other family behind. She often felt alone here, but she connected immediately with the staff at the food pantry. Alain said their kindness and conversation helped her feel less isolated. She never thought she would need to turn to a food pantry for help, but Alain said it means the world to know that CCD is there. Whatever she needs, whether it be food, a listening ear, or a pat on the back, Alain said CCD provides that and more for her and anyone else who visits.
