Dear Neighbor,
September was one of the biggest months in N3's year, and you showed up for it. Between North Texas Giving Day on September 17, the Golf Cart Raffle drawing, and N3's 11th Annual Charity Golf Classic presented by Rock Creek Church on September 28, our community rallied around one simple idea: no neighbor should go hungry.
This issue recaps what you made possible in September and introduces our fourth-quarter campaign, 1,500 Pantry Patrons: The Give $15 Pledge. It is the easiest way yet to keep our shelves full through the holidays and into 2027.
September by the Numbers
In September, our self-choice pantry served 4,519 individuals across 13 distribution days, sharing 77,531 pounds of nutritious food with families in Collin, East Denton, and South Grayson Counties. That's over 59,600 meals.

For nearly 15 years, Neighbors Nourishing Neighbors (N3) has been fighting hunger, building community, and restoring dignity across Collin, Denton, and Grayson counties. As we look ahead to our 15th anniversary as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on September 12, 2027, we are excited to invite you to join our Pantry Patron campaign!
We are rallying 1,500 neighbors to commit to giving $15 a month by September 12, 2027.

We extend our sincere gratitude to PepsiCo and the 30 dedicated volunteers who recently spent time giving our pantry store a well-deserved facelift and refresh! Through their hard work, physical effort, and generous donation of items, our layout has been completely transformed.
These improvements significantly enhance our daily workflow, boosting operational efficiency and strengthening our ability to deliver quality food items to the families we serve. Thank you to the entire PepsiCo team for your hands-on partnership and shared commitment to fighting local hunger!
