Meet Your Neighbor: Todd’s Story

Todd has been visiting our partners at the St. Bonaventure’s food pantry in Concord while he waits for a surgery that will allow him to return to his full-time job.

With 8- and 10-year-old nephews at home, he says the weekly groceries you help provide ensure the kids can always “chow down” – even when the disability benefits meant to support him while he’s off work don’t arrive on time.

“I love that everybody here was smiling when I got here,” he shared at a recent distribution, where he was able to pick up kid-friendly favorites like blueberry bagels and fresh fruit. “I’m just thankful you guys are here.”

St. Bonaventure is one of over 245 food pantries, soup kitchens, childcare centers, and other nonprofits we partner with to ensure your support gets where it’s needed most. Thanks to supporters like you, our partners at St. Bonaventure are providing healthy (and kid-approved!) groceries for up to 150 families like Todd’s each week.
