At the same time, her next door neighbor mentioned that he knew where food was available because he had been associated with the Houston Food Bank. With this impetus, Marguerite asked a few friends to meet in her home, and the Montgomery County Food Bank was organized, with Marguerite assuming the responsibility of treasurer, a job which she continued until January 2001. Although Marguerite is a reticent lady who goes about her good works quietly, others in the food bank wanted to honor her in a special way. The food bank helps families, children, seniors and the working poor who need help putting food on the table. Now the whole community pitches in to help meet the need.
Organizations hold food drives and individuals drop food in the red barrels in grocery stores.
Many donate money which enables the food bank volunteers to purchase quantities of the needed items to fill in the bare spaces on the shelves. Marguerite, whose maiden name is Weisinger, was born and raised on a farm located where April Sound is now. She started teaching in Conroe in 1939, and after a few years she went back to Baylor University for further credits. A mathematics teacher by profession, she introduced calculus into Conroe Independent School District and headed the Mathematics Department at Conroe high school for many years. She took a working retirement at age 70 and continued to tutor students in math who needed extra help.
