At-Risk Groups Hit The Hardest
Children in low-income households, as well as the elderly and disabled are affected the hardest by the government shutdown.
Ways to help
Make a donation
Food banks & pantries are non-profit organizations that rely on the help of good-hearted people. Consider donating to your local food bank and help put food on the table for at-risk groups.
Volunteer
Volunteering at a local food bank is a wonderful way to help thousands of people. If you or someone you know has some free time, consider becoming a volunteer today.
Help those in need directly
If you have the means to help those at need directly, you could bring over some essential food supplies yourself. A community that helps each other in times of need, thrives together.
Everyone Deserves A Second Chance
We all go through hard times. We ask you not to judge the families who need benefits – everyone has a story, and it’s not just “being lazy” like people like to say. If you can, help out those you know and especially children and the elderly in this time of need.
