Operation Phantom Support: 5/17

I apologize ahead of time for the crappy picture LOL. I am going on week 2 of no phone! 😳 And I didn't have a chance to grab the camera before I had to put everything away and go pickup the kids and head to work. Anyways, the Food Pantry at Operaton Phantom Support is currently open every Thursday and Saturday from 10am-2pm, serving active duty, veterans, and their families.  As of May 9th, 2018  617,787 lbs of food have been distributed. And in April, they served 3,628 soldiers and veterans, helping out 13,948 family members!    Here was Thursday's Pantry List, which as mentioned before, does change depending on availability.  Do note that it is a pantry, so many of the frozen items, meats, and breads/pastries that are received and given out, are past their expiration which does not mean that they are not good and are saving tons of food from going in the dump each year.

Operation Phantom Support

Operations Phantom Support is not only making a HUGE impact on the Fort Hood Army Community, but also helping us to supplement big time on our family grocery budget!

(My husband is a Veteran). They ask for a $20 once a month donation to use their services. You can then use all of the programs/services based on funding available. The Nancy Miller Food Pantry is a branch of Operation Phantom Support, and open to donors 8 times a month (every Thursday and Saturday) and spouses can also sign up. Just bring your military dependent ID or your Spouse's DD214 or VA card.  Serious...
