EULESS, TX, October 27, 2026 -- Hope has a new set of wheels. Whole Foods Market delivered a new electric refrigerated van to 6 Stones, supporting food pickups for the New Hope Center and the neighbors who rely on the center to help feed their families. See Photos
The 6 Stones New Hope Center serves approximately 60,000 neighbors each year. Before food reaches the pantry, staff must pick it up and transport it. Whole Foods Market's practical investment strengthens an important connection in local food access: the trip between food pickup and the pantry.
For neighbors navigating a challenging season, the availability of fresh, healthy food for their household matters. 6 Stones staff and volunteers coordinate food pickups, transportation, and pantry operations. By providing refrigerated transportation, Whole Foods Market is supporting the behind-the-scenes work that connects food resources with neighbors.
"Whole Foods Market's generosity supports the everyday work of getting food to our New Hope Center," said Lori Krouskos, Chief Development Officer at 6 Stones. "Partnerships like this do more than provide transportation; they bridge the gap between generosity and real impact, ensuring no family in our community goes hungry."
Support Local Food Access Through Volunteering and Giving
Community members can participate in the New Hope Center's work by exploring current volunteer opportunities or making a financial donation. Volunteering offers a way to serve alongside others through shared community action. Financial contributions support 6 Stones' ongoing work of connecting neighbors with food and practical pathways of Hope.
