PROSPER, TX – January 29, 2025 – Following a devastating fire at the Neighbors Nourishing Neighbors (N3) food pantry on Saturday, January 18, the Prosper community came together to ensure no family in need went hungry. On Friday, January 24, a temporary food distribution took place at the Prosper Town Hall parking lot, highlighting the strength and resilience of the town and its local faith-based groups and non-profit organizations.
A key factor in the success of this initiative was the extraordinary generosity of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints including strong representation from their location in Prosper, which donated an 18-wheeler truck filled with pallets of food and water. The truck traveled all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah, to provide essential supplies to families affected by the fire.
The Town of Prosper also contributed by offering space in the Town Hall parking lot to host the temporary food distribution. Additionally, the Children's Hunger Fund (CHF) currently building a food distributing center in Prosper joined the effort by supplying pallets of water, canned goods, and other essential items. Additionally, CHF is partnering with N3 to utilize its existing warehouse, located just south of Highway US 380, to store several pallets of items that were not distributed during last week's event.
“This is another example of what makes Prosper a wonderful community. Many different people and organizations came together quickly to ensure that no family went without food,” said Prosper Mayor, David Bristol. “I want to thank each of the groups that stepped in to assist!'"
The fire, which began in an adjacent business, destroyed nearly all of N3’s supplies and left its building uninhabitable for the time being. For the past three years, N3 has served as a vital resource for the Prosper and Collin County communities, providing food, clothing and toiletries to about 300 families each week.
As N3 works to rebuild, donations of storage space, food and financial assistance are still needed. To support their mission or stay updated on recovery efforts, the organization encouraged the public to visit their website at n3foodpantry.org.
Friday’s event was a testament to the compassion and resilience of Prosper’s community and a reminder that in times of hardship, neighbors will always nourish neighbors.
