Can you help us lift the load?

Last month, our volunteers moved over 60,000 pounds of food to local families, with every single pallet weighing a massive 2,000 pounds. Right now, our team relies entirely on manual pallet jacks, which is slow, exhausting, and creates a real risk of injury.

We want to purchase an electric pallet jack so we can move heavy loads safely and quickly.

We are trying to raise $2,500. If just 100 people give $25, we will reach our goal and protect our amazing volunteers!

'The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end...' Lamentations 3:22-23

📖 What a powerful promise to carry into the new week.

These verses remind us that no matter what yesterday held, today brings a fresh start and abundant mercy.

We hope this picture of our volunteers serving inspires you with hope today.

Last Distribution Day, our volunteers moved more than 60,000 pounds of food to families in Farmers Branch and the surrounding area.

Every bit of it arrived on pallets that weigh about 2,000 pounds each, and right now we move every one by hand with a manual pallet jack. It takes two volunteers, sometimes three, to push and pull a single pallet. It's slow, it's exhausting, and it puts the people who serve our neighbors at real risk of injury.

An electric pallet jack changes that. One volunteer can safely move a full pallet in seconds:
- Safer volunteers
- Faster distribution
- More hands free to serve families

Our goal is $2,500 by Saturday, November 7, so it's ready for our next Distribution Day. If 100 of us give $25, it's fully funded.

Will you help us lift the load?

Every car in this line represents a household, a family, and a story. While the line may be long, God is constantly at work—meeting needs, providing hope, and bringing our community together.

At i58, we are honored to step into the work He is already doing by ensuring our neighbors never have to face food insecurity alone. No matter what season you’re walking through, our drive-through pantry doors are open to you.

Spread the word to anyone who might need a little extra support this week, or reach out to see how you can partner with us to keep these shelves stocked. 🥫✨

Volunteer Spotlight: Yolanda Gonzalez 💙

Meet Yolanda Gonzalez, one of the warm, welcoming faces who makes i58 feel like family to everyone who arrives on distribution days.

Introduced to i58 through Royal Haven and Carol Dorman, Yolanda shares a deep, meaningful history with this mission. Her late husband, Ruben, served faithfully alongside our team before his passing in 2019, and Yolanda continues that shared legacy of service with unmatched joy, dedication, and grace.

On any given distribution day, you will find Yolanda enrolling new neighbors, managing check-ins, and making phone calls to remind families to pick up their food. But her ministry goes far beyond paperwork:

She takes the time to learn our families’ names.

She greets and hugs their children.

She stops to pray over heavy hearts and follows up personally whenever someone shares a need.

When asked how she hopes to serve i58 moving forward, her answer was simple: "Keep serving with all my heart, hands, feet, and soul."

Her simple invitation to anyone considering giving their time? "Come volunteer. Working for God serving others is the greatest reward."

Yolanda, thank you for loving our community so intentionally and reflecting the heart of Jesus week after week. We are truly blessed to serve alongside you!
