Please don’t forget the colleges. There are many students on SNAP.

We have a small student pantry that is always running low.

A lot of restaurants here are offering some kind of free meal deal, but I think this one is especially thoughtful: ‘Your children don’t need to know’ – popular Central Ohio Italian restaurant offers free hot meal to families while dining in

Here’s how it works: stop in, get seated like everyone else, and tell your server you’d like the “family-style pasta.” After your meal is delivered, your check will come, but it will be $0.

“No expectation of a tip, no awkwardness. Your children don’t need to know,” said Bucci’s on their Facebook post.

someone in my neighborhood put together a PDF with all the available info and resources that included ways to volunteer and also how to host a food drive. the doc makes it easy to volunteer and we also had a last minute collection that as pretty successful.

If you live in any of these places, even if you personally don't receive benefits, the odds are high that you know someone who does depend on SNAP. They're your neighbors, your friends, the girl at the coffee shop who remembers your order every morning, the guy who fills your prescriptions, the woman who delivered your sushi.

A good reminder. There are a lot of people who are going to be hungry. A lot of people who work and need SNAP to provide food for their families and themselves

I sent money to a local charity yesterday. Next on list - St Mary’s food bank.

At the grocery store I was Hopkin to make a food donation but didn’t see them inviting us to donate.
