Food Was Scarce, But You Were There!

Dan Reany - 700 Club Producer

Irving, TX

Because of the COVID-19 outbreak, many people now rely on food banks to help feed their families. In Irving, Texas, Operation Blessing partner, Agape Connect, is doing all they can to help those in need.

“It’s been pretty rough,” Ulises says. “My wife and I got fired from our jobs. I’ve been without a job for a month already and we’re living out of our savings basically because there’s no sort of income.”

“Food is scarce in the stores and we are running out of everything and just trying to maintain the bills and the online schooling with the kids; and it’s hard, but we’re making it through. It’s very stressful and frustrating” Lowanna says. 

Schools are still providing meals to kids, but administrators know many families need extra support. The Irving School District called Agape Connect, and Agape Connect called Operation Blessing.

“Because of Operation Blessing, we are able to feed several thousand families today,” says Gerson.

To keep everyone safe, people drive through and have groceries placed into their cars. Thanks to Operation Blessing partners, parents like Jacqueline are able to feed their families. 

Jacqueline said, “I’m able to put some kind of food to give to my kids. As long as they’re good, I’m happy. So this actually is a blessing that I’m able to provide for my children.”

“It means a lot to me, to my family, to all of us who lost their jobs. It really really means a lot,” said Ulises.

“Not a whole lot of people stepped up, but Operation Blessing did,” says Gerson.

“Just from the bottom of my heart, ‘Thank you,’ and not just from me, but many families out there as well,” says Jacqueline. “God bless you.”
