Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana

Meet Jibreel. “I am living by myself in?Shreveport. I often need help with food and get my meals from area soup kitchens. I now go to Martha’s Market food pantry to pick up food I can cook. I walk there because I don’t have a car, so I’m very happy to have a place in my neighborhood where I can pick my own food and feel taken care of by the nice people.” Help people just like Jibreel facing hunger in Northwest Louisiana during the month of March for #fighthungersparkchange with Walmart and Sam's Club https://lnkd.in/gx-pf6nn
