Jim Wells County proclaims September 2026 Hunger Action Month; Real highlights pantry growth

Pam Hernandez, representing Real (Centro del Buen Provecho), presented a proclamation for September 2026 as Hunger Action Month and thanked the court for the county's support of food‑security efforts. The proclamation called on residents, businesses and partners to increase awareness and support for local hunger relief.

Savannah Molina, introduced as Real's food pantry manager, said the group had grown from one site to four and described recent distributions, including serving 87 households in Orange Grove. "We served 87 households," she said, and recounted a recent encounter with a mother and infant who left the distribution visibly relieved. Hernandez and Molina highlighted partnerships with local farmers to increase access to fresh milk and other produce.
