The Woodforest Charitable Foundation recently made a great donation of $5,000 to stock up the food supply of the organization's food pantry with several of food pantry shelves unfilled at Interfaith of The Woodlands.

"In this economic environment more and more families are having to make a choice between feeding their family and providing other essential necessities. It is our hope that other organizations will step up and provide assistance because hunger should not be an option. We are pleased to once again contribute to the Interfaith program. Through the Woodforest Charitable Foundation, we are able to give back to this community, thus enriching lives in the community,"" stated Vice President of The Woodforest Charitable Foundation, Kim Marling.
