Food banks around the country were counting on $500 million of federal funding to feed millions of families and individuals experiencing hunger this year. Many months’ worth of orders already placed by food banks have now been canceled.

SNAP helps 42M+ people access food, but it’s facing cuts that could hurt families, communities & local economies. Join us today for a live convo w/ FRAC’s SNAP Director, Salaam Bhatti, to learn what’s ahead & how we can take action. Don’t miss it! ⬇️ 🔗 www.linkedin.com/events/73056...

SNAP fights hunger in Maryland, helping 693K+ people & bringing $1.4B to the state. With 10.4% of households facing food insecurity, we can’t afford cuts. In 2023 alone, it fed 216K+ kids & pumped $1.9B into local businesses. Congress, #ProtectSNAP!

Food banks around the country are facing unprecedented challenges as a storm of layoffs and cuts to benefits increase the number of people who need us, while rising prices increase our food costs.

Tens of millions of people rely on SNAP to put food on the table. Proposed cuts to SNAP would make it harder for kids, veterans, older adults, and people with disabilities to get the nutrition they need. Tell Congress: #HandsOffSNAP! bit.ly/3Q833pn

Only 5 days left until the #SNAPChallenge25 begins! Could you make it on a SNAP budget? Sign up now to take the challenge and tell Congress to protect and strengthen this critical nutrition program. frac.org/snap-challen...

It's Giving Tuesday and donations today are matched 1:1 up to $15k! As you gather with your loved ones for holiday meals, consider supporting your food-insecure neighbors with a donation to the food bank! aafoodbank.org/share

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We will be closed Thursday and Friday to spend the holiday with our loved ones, but we have a lot to be thankful for. Your donations allowed us to provide 3,721 turkeys to our neighbors across the county. That's an 87% increase from last year!

Happy Thanksgiving week to everyone, but especially these turkey-deliverers from Thrive Wellness.

Something else you can do to support your local food pantry (which doesn't require any money) is telling your representatives that you oppose the proposed FARM Bill in the US House of Representatives that would cut SNAP by $30 billion over 10 years. Email them here: p2a.co/ublfw96

This is all absolutely true, but food drives and volunteering are also important ways to support your local food bank. Last year, about 1/3 of the food we distributed was donated, which makes a big difference!
