Biloxi Treatment Center<\/a> patients were beneficiaries of food donations collected by the Second Baptist Church in Houston, Texas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cIt was rewarding to be able to bless our patients with the food,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy biggest smile came from the children during the food pick up,\u201d Smith reminisced. \u201cI helped families carry bags of food to their cars. The children held what they could in their little arms helping to carry as much as they could.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smith and the other counselors at the treatment center telephoned the patients to offer them food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fellow New Season Treatment Center counselor, Dean Jensen, recalled the experience of one of his patients who financially struggles every month to make ends meet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe doesn’t eat much because he cannot afford a whole lot of extra expenses per month,\u201d Jensen said. \u201cHe made the comment that at times he will skip two or three days of eating just to make his food supply last him the entire month.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grateful patient said this food giveaway couldn’t have come at a better time. \u201cSadly enough, he will not go to the local food banks because he feels there are others out there that need it more than he does,\u201d Jensen noted. \u201cIt was difficult hearing him say this because he is as thin a person I have ever seen for someone his size.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another patient who benefited from the assistance agreed that the food drive came at the perfect time. \u201cIt was needed so bad. I have no one to depend on and the food was able to help me during a hard time. It was very heartfelt blessing,\u201d the patient said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps the patient who needed the food most \u2014 a single mom who receives minimal financial assistance\u2014 \u201cwas extremely grateful,\u201d her counselor Shelbi Lewis, said.\u201cI hope we can continue to support our patients in this way,\u201d Lewis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cynthia Luna, a regional director for New Season Treatment Centers, said the day was filled with \u201clots of tears, and gratitude, and great stories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
