Wait, how many meals?!?! | Whitney Alese Get more from Whitney Alese on Patreon

Fun fact: Your local food bank can use your $25 donation to access enough food for over 100 nutritious meals.

Don’t ever look down at your donation, no matter its size. When we say “every little bit helps”, we mean it!

I'm supporting Feeding America! To feed America’s hungry through food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger

#writersagainsthunger is encouraging folks to set a writing goal for a November write-a-thon to raise money throughout the month for Feeding America. As a former insecure kid, it would mean so much if you shared.

Does anyone work anymore?"

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Many food banks also accept & distribute cat and dog food.
Many rescues & shelters also have food pantries.
(This is also important, because many people will cut back on quality & volume of food they eat. In order to keep their pets safe at home.) ❤️

It is important to note that food banks usually prefer money donations over food donations. They need the money more, and know how to best use it to benefit those who need it, including obtaining food their own way. There are many reasons why money is best. Google around for explanations

If you're in a good position and want to donate to your local food bank or volunteer time, this is also a great way to look up your closest org to show up to.

I can't overstate how many people are going to be struggling in the next few weeks, we need to take care of each other.

US Department of Agriculture says no food aid benefits will be issued next month The U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Saturday that food benefits under one of the country's biggest social assistance programs will not be issued next month amid the ongoing federal government shutdown.

🚨🚨 Please donate $ to your local food shelters, and call your congress critters. Millions of people will receive no funds for supplemental nutrition (SNAP) November 1. (1/2) www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

700K NC families could lose food assistance amid shutdown. How to get help More than a quarter-million North Carolina residents may also be in danger of losing WIC benefits if the government shutdown continues.

700,000 people in NC risk losing SNAP benefits in Nov. 42 M rely on SNAP nationwide. That’s children, people with disabilities and the elderly. The existing resources are already strained, but you can still help. Donate, advocate, volunteer, share. #writersagainsthunger #kidlitchat #writingcommunity
