The Walk for Hunger 2019

The government shutdown was a stressful time for the community we serve and its aftermath continues to affect the families we see. SNAP funding for the month of February was released at the end of January which means that many families may run out of the SNAP funding they depend upon before the month is up.

We are dedicated to ensuring that all families have the food they need, and for the month of February that means increasing the amount of fresh food we provide. We are asking for your help to make sure that our neighbors have the additional food they need throughout the month of February.
