FACES OF IRON GATE
These are our neighbors.
Sometimes they are joyful.
Sometimes they are thoughtful.
And sometimes they are hungry.
These are the Faces of Iron Gate
From long-time Iron Gate guests to those who have never needed help before, everyone has been affected either by the virus or the economic fallout. In the face of the crisis, the plight of the food insecure is even more dire. As one guest put it, the virus “has taken a lot of people down.” But thanks to your support, when they fall, Iron Gate is there.
Armed with masks, carry-out containers, and boxes of food, Iron Gate continues to feed people every day. Iron Gate continues to serve a daily meal, offers grocery assistance three times a week, and provides snacks for kids. Our mission never wavered. Your support makes that possible. Faces of Iron Gate has always been a way to humanize the issue of hunger. This year’s edition captured by veteran photojournalist, Mike Simons, showcases how hunger can truly affect anyone. From the father who has never had to apply for unemployment let alone visit a food pantry to the woman who believed her life was finally back on track, many of our guests never thought they would have to ask for help. Your support means help is there, when it’s needed. As we weather this health crisis and economic downturn, Iron Gate’s mission to feed the hungry has taken on even more importance. You are essential to that mission. In the Faces of Iron Gate, there’s warmth, grief, and hope. A hope nurtured by the food you help provide. We hope these stories touch your heart, but we also hope they move you to action. You can ease someone’s burden by giving to Iron Gate today. Thank you for your support.
