Best practices

Hill Country Family Services staff members traveled to Tennessee in late March to visit “The Store” in Nashville. The Store was created by Brad Paisley and his wife, Kimberly Williams Paisley, to help individuals and families during times of economic crisis. Dunia Garcia, HCFS director of Client Services, and Rhonda McNeill, HCFS manager of Food and Nutrition Services, met with the Paisleys and brought back a number of best practices for providing nutritional assistance during economic crises. Both The Store and Hill Country Family Services’ Corner Cupboard are self-selection food pantries intended to assist families in financial crisis for short periods of time. Both organizations provide high-quality foods to meet their clients’ essential nutritional needs as they seek to overcome a short-term crisis.

Dad wants to know grown children

Q: I regret to say that I walked out on my wife and kids several years ago. Since the divorce, I’ve recognized my mistakes and changed my life (including coming to faith). I’d really like to get back in touch with my children, but they want nothing to do with me. How can I reconnect with them? 04/12/2022 12:00 AM
