Boxes of food prepared for Friday’s distribution in Howe.

During the Coronavirus pandemic, several organizations have shined their light. The Howe Area Chamber of Commerce worked feverishly with their chamber members to get funding options to the local businesses, and Feed My Sheep tackled food shortage for the individuals of Howe and the surrounding area. free food from the North Texas Food Bank, but have to purchase the vast majority as normal. Funding comes through donations from the public. Walmart locations in Sherman and Anna have been kind enough to share with the non-profit group.

“Since Anna does not have a food bank, Walmart is helping us and we’re helping their people as well even though they’re out of the county.”

Feed My Sheep is continually seeking donations and for volunteer help.

“Any type of items they want to donate helps,” said Sutton. “We’re always looking for Ramen Noodles.”

Sutton wanted to thank the young men and women of the community that have helped unload trucks and move boxes during this time.

“The crew that was here last night of about seven or eight put all of this (boxes of food) together and did it in a couple of hours,” said Sutton.

Feed My Sheep is under the partnership of the First United Methodist Church (where the pantry is located), Community Bible Fellowship, New Beginning Fellowship, and First Baptist Church of Howe.

“The more you help people, the more you’re blessed,” said Sutton. “The coronavirus has caused people to look to each other more and appreciate what they have. There’s good in a lot of things if you look hard enough. The publicity for Christianity has been fantastic.”

The Feed My Sheep group began in the latter part of 2015 and was the brainchild of Carolyn Cherry which led to her eventual Norma J. Wallace Citizen of the Year Award that year.

During the recent events, Feed My Sheep has had to remove the “choice pantry” option where people can come in and choose their food. According to volunteer Carolyn Sutton, they now have converted to drive-thru -only with boxed of food delivered to the vehicle.

“They stay in their cars, they pop the trunks as they get to the first awning and we put boxes and bags of things in there,” said Sutton.

The boxes of food have cereals, canned good varieties, snacks, meats, cheeses, and bread.

During the early part of April as the pandemic began to rob people of their incomes, Feed My Sheep fed 104 families on a Saturday. Since then, the average has been around 70.

“We’ve had people coming from all over South Grayson County,” said Sutton. “We turn no one away. We give them an emergency and tell them where they can find food pantries within their own area.”

Ventilators, building hospitals, beds and yes, Testing, have been handled incredibly well. Testing is getting exponentially better every day.
