There is ongoing uncertainty about our country’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides critical food assistance to 41 million Americans – 700,000 of these Americans live in Tennessee. Many in our community may be at risk of experiencing food insecurity as the government shutdown lingers.
HOW TO HELP
We urge you to help in any way you can, as food insecurity on a national scale means it is happening in your backyard. Whether you can donate food, your time, or finances, please look out for your neighbors.
