Summer should be a time for play and possibility — not hunger pains. But unless we act now, too many East Texas kids will go without the nourishment they need to grow, learn and thrive. Your gift today helps stock our shelves with healthy food: etfb.link/25summerhunger

Texans are struggling with the high cost of food and other necessities, and working families need SNAP more than ever. SNAP must remain whole to continue meeting the need in our communities. Send a letter to your reps urging them to reject cuts to SNAP: secure.feedingtexas.org/a/snap-cuts

When shopping, keep raw meat, poultry, and seafood in plastic bags and away from other foods. Juices can drip and contaminate other items — especially fresh produce. Bring reusable bags? Wash them often!

“Cuts to SNAP will only deepen food insecurity in our region, which already exceeds the state average,” said David Emerson, CEO of the East Texas Food Bank. Read ETFB's response to the budget reconciliation bill now back in the House for consideration: etfb.link/yx8

You just never know what kind of "quacky" things you will find sorting through our fresh produce items. Deep East Texas Resource Center AARP volunteer Mary found this cute duck-shaped potato in the bin and wanted to share. 🦆

In your fridge, keep raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs in sealed containers or wrapped securely — and always on the bottom shelf to prevent drips. This prevents drips from contaminating ready-to-eat foods stored below or nearby.
