Today we honor Veterans Day.

Hunger and food insecurity don't take a day off, and neither do the sacrifices our veterans made. For all of us at the Food Pantry, honoring their service means making sure no veteran in our community has to choose between groceries and everything else.

We're grateful to the Bastrop Regional Chamber of Commerce for being leaders in honoring our local veterans, including at this recent Chamber Luncheon where attendees got to take a selfie with a veteran. Tresha and Frances were proud to spend that afternoon with veterans including Dominica McGinnis, Ed Travis, and Willie Piña who served abroad and here at home as a previous Food Pantry Board of Directors.

If you've driven through downtown Bastrop lately, you may have seen the banners on the lampposts featuring photos of local veterans. Take a moment to look up, read their names and know these are our neighbors who deserve to be honored everyday. 💙
