Giant Chair, Turtle Treats: North Texans Step Up to Help Area Food Banks
The need is indeed great. But so is the spirit of giving. 13-year-old Fort Worth twins Claire and Catherine McKnight have seen the long lines of cars waiting for food. “I’m used to getting food from the grocery store and people can’t afford it and it just makes me sad,” said Catherine McKnight. The seventh-graders whipped up their grandma’s pecan caramel chocolate turtle treats and sold them to help the Tarrant Area Food Bank. The teens handed the organization a check for $6,000. “It felt really good because I know a lot of people will benefit from it,” said Catherine.
