Review for Minnie’s Food Pantry, Plano, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My initial contact with Minnie's Food Pantry was that of a client. I was out of work and needed assistance and decided to visit the pantry. Please understand that the feelings of social inadequacies were very prevalent and the thought of having to ask for help was devastating! All that changed when I got to meet the staff of the pantry! Everyone displayed a level of compassion that was UNBELIEVABLE! I not only received top level food items, but I got to experience how truly COMMITTED people carrying out a NOBLE cause can truly transform their environment...and I wanted to be a part of this movement! I joined the movement as a volunteer, and have been so rewarded, I have decided I will be a volunteer for life at Minnie's Food Pantry! Great things are going on at Minnie's Food Pantry...so if you need assistance, not only for food, but inspiration as well,,,you need to visit the organization to feel the love displayed once you enter the doors...I did, and would love for everyone to feel what I felt the first time and still do when I am at Minnie's Food Pantry!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

In the capacity of a client receiving much needed items being served with dignity and respect. Additionally, as a volunteer, I have seen many clients being comforted by staff members when the clients just needed to be encouraged!
