Taylor’s family is grateful for you

To Aubrey, 7, Jackson, 6, Brantley, 6, and Riley, 5, a walk along the creek is an exciting treasure hunt. All four children love looking for turtles and salamanders together.

When the kids aren’t in school or chasing salamanders, they’re enjoying family meals, which mom Taylor says include lots of delicious crockpot recipes.

But affording enough food to feed the family of six has been a challenge recently, ever since Taylor’s partner, Shawn, lost his job. While he actively looks for a new one, the family budget is stretched thin.

“This is probably the hardest we’ve ever had life right now,” Taylor says, adding that the SNAP benefits the family receives simply don’t cover food for a family of six.

As Shawn continues searching for a new job, the family is so grateful for friends like you, who help supply the Cattaraugus Food Pantry through FeedMore WNY.



Taylor says she’s amazed at the variety of food she finds there, which her children need to fuel their creek-side adventures and thrive.

“I don’t know what we’d be doing right now [without FeedMore],” Taylor shares with gratitude. “We would be [eating] ramen noodles every night.”
