Former Food Pantry Recipient
“It’s a struggle. I’ve been raising my kids for the past three and a half years by myself. My husband passed away and this is the biggest help that anyone can get. I know it’s hard to make that money stretch and we see a lot of working poor. You know, rents are so high in Paterson, so it’s either you have to pay your rent and pay your bills or, pay your rent and feed your children.”
