Crisis Bread Basket: Case Study

As a part of Crisis Bread Basket, Jo Hackett has been helping the Wimberley community for about 6 years. She started as a volunteer. While still working in Austin, she would spend her Thursdays distributing food to Crisis Bread Basket clients. In 2013 Jo became a member of the board of directors, and she is now Chairman of Crisis Bread Basket. She oversees the organization, while still doing whatever is needed to distribute donations to those in need.

Jo loves that she can be there for her community by giving them the help they need along with support. “ I feel like sometimes folks just come to get loved on, and that's what we do,” says Jo. “We do not judge. We are just here for them whatever their circumstances”. Jo also enjoys seeing other members of the Wimberley community help. She says the Crisis Bread Basket volunteers are great, and many clients eventually give back to the organization. …show more content…
There have been many improvements to the building, and fresh food is now being offered. These foods are healthy and gives customers options when receiving donations. “They get the chance to pick and choose what food is best for their family's needs,” says Jo. She is also excited that Crisis Bread Basket was voted best Wimberley non profit this year. “Thank you WImberley community, we rely on you to stay in business!” says
