Feed People

Hidden by the government shutdown were major changes to SNAP eligibility triggered by the “Big Beautiful Bill” in July. New work and reporting requirements mean many Americans will lose eligibility—and hunger in America was already a serious issue. Rising food prices and a crashing economy will make the situation even worse.

We take the momentum built in November and double-down in mutual aid. Feeding our neighbors with dignity and respect is as fundamental an act of care as we can take. When you feel helpless, or hopeless, feed someone. Give graciously and remember everyone deserves a treat now and then. Avoid judgement. Serve your neighbors with joy.
