There’s still time to donate if you want to drop your items off in the next couple of days!
We will be dropping off the items to the pantry at end of day this Thursday, 11/20!

💙 Community Emergency Support Needed 💙

Due to the ongoing government shutdown, Texas families who rely on SNAP food assistance may lose access to vital benefits in just a few days. This crisis will impact children, seniors, and hard-working families right here in our local community.

That’s why we are partnering with GRACE Grapevine to help prepare for what could be an enormous rise in food insecurity this November. Families may soon be forced to choose between putting food on the table or keeping a roof over their heads—and together, we can prevent that.

Here’s how you can help:

✅ Donate non-perishable food at either MD Pediatrics office (Flower Mound or Coppell) and we will drop off to GRACE Food Pantry

Every can, every box, every item makes a difference.

Most needed items:
Boxed Pasta
Cereal
Cooking Oil
Ramen
Toothbrushes
Deodorant
Body Wash
Shampoo/Conditioner
Laundry Detergent
Razors

Together, we can ensure no child goes hungry in our community. 💙

📦 Donation bins will be available starting this week at both office locations.
Thank you for being a practice family that cares—not just for our own children, but for all children.
