At Midwest Food Bank Texas, we are reminded daily that hope is delivered through the compassionate, steady service of others. This month, we are honored to recognize two exceptional blessings to our mission: legendary volunteer trucker Don Dykes and valued partner agency, Under His Wings.
Celebrating Don Dykes, a Legendary Volunteer Trucker
For countless miles traveled and countless lives impacted, Don Dykes has become a true legend within the Midwest Food Bank Texas family. Whether loading trucks before sunrise, delivering food to partner agencies across Texas, or offering encouragement to fellow volunteers, Don exemplifies servant leadership in action.
His commitment goes far beyond transportation. Don delivers hope, reliability, and kindness with every route he drives. Through changing weather, long days, and demanding schedules, he continues to answer the call to serve families facing food insecurity.
Volunteer truckers like Don are vital to the mission of Midwest Food Bank. Because of faithful servants like him, food and essential supplies reach communities that otherwise might go without. His dedication has inspired staff, volunteers, partner agencies, and donors alike.
Thank you, Don, for the thousands of miles, the generous spirit, and the unwavering heart for serving others. Your legacy continues to bless communities across Texas.
Under His Wings
Located in the Emory, Texas area, Under His Wings faithfully serves individuals and families throughout the surrounding rural communities with compassion, dignity, and care. As a trusted Midwest Food Bank partner agency, they provide food, encouragement, and support to neighbors experiencing challenging times.
Their ministry reaches far beyond food distribution. Through caring volunteers and a servant-hearted mission, Under His Wings creates meaningful relationships and reminds people that they are seen, valued, and loved.
In many smaller communities, access to consistent food resources can be limited. Under His Wings helps bridge that gap by ensuring families, seniors, and individuals in need receive nutritious food and essential support close to home.
Midwest Food Bank Texas is grateful for partnerships like Under His Wings that extend the reach of hope into communities across East Texas. Together, through faithful volunteers, generous donors, dedicated truck drivers, and compassionate partner agencies, lives are being changed every day.
Thank you to Don and Kathy Dykes at Under His Wings for being shining examples of what it means to serve others “from the heart.”
