Whole Foods Donates Electric Refrigerated Van to 6 Stones Food Pantry

Whole Foods Market has donated a new electric refrigerated van to 6 Stones, a community organization based in Euless, Texas, to support food pickups for its New Hope Center food pantry. The New Hope Center serves approximately 60,000 neighbors each year, and the van will help transport fresh, healthy food from pickup locations to the pantry. This practical investment strengthens the critical link between food resources and the neighbors who rely on them, ensuring that perishable items remain fresh during transit. Lori Krouskos, Chief Development Officer at 6 Stones, emphasized that the partnership does more than provide transportation—it bridges the gap between generosity and real impact, helping ensure no family in the community goes hungry.

The donation highlights the behind-the-scenes logistics of food access, where staff and volunteers coordinate pickups, transportation, and pantry operations. By providing refrigerated transportation, Whole Foods Market supports the everyday work that connects food resources with neighbors in need. Community members can get involved by exploring Volunteer at New Hope Center opportunities or making a financial contribution to Donate to New Hope Center. 6 Stones also expressed gratitude for the investment in food transportation and for participating in a community where neighbors, businesses, volunteers, and donors each have a meaningful role.

Founded on the mission of Sharing Hope through community mobilization, 6 Stones brings together churches, businesses, schools, civic leaders, volunteers, and neighbors to transform lives, homes, and communities. Its vision is to be "A Catalyst of Hope transforming lives, homes, and communities." Through food provision, community revitalization, mentoring, and personal development, 6 Stones honors each neighbor's dignity and progress while creating opportunities for people to serve alongside one another. The new electric refrigerated van from Whole Foods Market is a tangible example of how business partnerships can strengthen local food access and support the vital work of community organizations.
