A Personal Note from Our Founder
When I started Any Step Community Services, I didn't simply want to distribute food.
I wanted older adults to know that someone still sees them.
Over the years, I have stood beside older adults who were grateful for the food we placed in their hands—but I've also watched what happens when a volunteer stays long enough to have a conversation. I've seen laughter around tables, people learning about their health, relationships forming, and older adults realizing that they haven't been forgotten.
That's why I often say Any Step is more than a food bank.
Food may be what brings us together. But dignity, health, and human connection are at the heart of why we stay.
—Sydney Portilla-Diggs
Founder & CEO
No one should age into hunger. Together, we can change that.
Right here in Dallas–Fort Worth, the need is urgent:
37% of older adults in Dallas County are living at or below the poverty line.
And the reality is shifting—fast.
Within just a few years, there will be more people over 60 than under 18. The face of hunger is changing, and older adults are increasingly at risk.
But hunger at this stage of life is about more than food.
It’s about:
It’s about losing dignity.
Your gift today changes that.
Because of you:
At Any Step Community Services, we do more than deliver meals.
For six years, we have walked alongside older adults across North Texas—distributing over 94,000 pounds of healthy food to more than 15,000 individuals.
Through our Healthy Steps Recipe Kits, culturally relevant food distributions, and wellness education, we provide:
Dignity — honoring culture, choice, and independence
Community — ensuring no one ages alone
Wellness — supporting healthier lives at every stage
Your impact today:
$25 = 12 meals
$50 = 25 meals
$100 = 50 meals
$250 = 125 meals
Every dollar matters. Every step matters.
No older adults should experience hunger or isolation in a community with abundance.
Will you stand with us today?
