Nonprofit case statement example, written and prepared by Mary Yearwood for Daily Bread Ministries

1. Feeding mouths, nourishing spirits.
Little Lily has had a rumbling tummy for several days. Her
family suffers from food insecurity due to poverty. Her mother
was embarrassed about their hardship, but sought help from
their church in order to help provide for her hungry family. In
addition to loving support, the church provided Lily’s family with
a box full of healthy produce and grocery items to help get them
through the week. Now Lily has a full belly and is a happy girl,
thanks to help from Daily Bread Ministries.
Sadly, Lily is one of thousands of San Antonio children who suffer daily from hunger.
Texas ranks one of the highest in the nation in food insecurity among children and
families¹. Approximately 17% of Bexar County residents live in poverty² and San
Antonio’s emergency food needs have gone unmet at a rate of 37%³. Daily Bread
Ministries helps meet this need by collecting and re-distributing over 5 million
pounds of food every year to churches and compassion organizations in San Antonio
Daily Bread Ministries and the Bexar County area. These organizations then distribute the food to
700 W. Houston constituents in need, many of whom may not be able to access other community
San Antonio, TX 78207 food resources.

area compassion organizations for delivery to hungry families and children in the San Antonio area
