Tyler* is an Army veteran who works hard to provide for his family of six. Because of the high cost of day care, Tyler’s wife cares for the couples’ young children full-time right now
When Tyler started losing hours at work, he sought a civil service job. But while he waited for notification about this opportunity, he needed help keeping healthy food on the table for his family.
That’s when Tyler first reached out to the Brazos Valley Food Bank (BVFB)’s Benefits Assistance Program staff, who shepherd individuals through the complicated government safety net program application process. Tyler received help specifically signing up for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), that supplemented Tyler’s hard-earned income.
Since then, Tyler has received a promotion at a new job that he enjoys, and he’s currently fulfilling his dream of going back to school. Today, he and his family no longer need SNAP assistance.
Tyler is greatly appreciative of the help he received that was supported by friends like you during a stressful time. Because of your partnership, neighbors like Tyler have the needed support to bridge the gap when life circumstances become difficult.
