Two truckloads of shelf-stable food are on their way from Massachusetts to Texas, where residents are still struggling after a devastating winter storm. The delivery was organized by the Massachusetts Military Support Foundation along with partners at the USA Veteran & Military Support Foundation, New England Patriots Foundation and Katsiroubas Bros. Don Cox, president of the Massachusetts Military Support Foundation, says his organization was able to secure 150,000 pounds of food for those in the Lone Star State."Texans are running low on food and are finding empty grocery store shelves," the foundation wrote. "Local food pantries across the state are running out of food and supplies as well. And, unfortunately, the deep freeze has wiped out substantial portions of the state's citrus and vegetable crops."Ernesto Casas Jr., a U.S. Marine from Freeport, Texas, inspired the effort when he reached out to MMSF Board Member and state Rep. Steven Xiarhos. "When I saw the situation and how bad it was last week, I sent him a text and I said: 'Send food,'" Casas said.The two knew each other through Xiarhos' work with Gold Star families, according to a statement from the foundation. "When my son, Nick, was killed in Afghanistan as a Marine, this Marine from Texas came all the way to Massachusetts and visited us," Xiarhos said."Thanks to everyone who participated in this food drive, and to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, thank you from the bottom of my heart," Casas said.The trucks were loaded and departed from Foxborough Tuesday afternoon and are expected to arrive in Freeport, which is 60 miles south of Houston, on Friday.
