NEARLY 2,000 HOUSEHOLDS AT FORT CAVAZOSA - A LOCATION WITH HIGH FOOD INSECURITY AND HIGH DEPLOYMENT FREQUENCY - WERE SERVED BY MFAN IN 2024. UPON ARRIVAL IN FORT CAVAZOS, FAMILIES RECEIVE A RESTOCK KIT THAT PROVIDES THEM WITH HOUSEHOLD ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED DURING EACH MOVE (E.G., PANTRY STAPLES, CLEANING SUPPLIES), VALUED AT $150.
