Feeding Families
Working to Reduce Stress on Families
Families, including many working families, are struggling to meet their basic needs. Our clients tell us:

40% have had to choose between paying for medicine and buying food.
Food Assistance from Our Agency Network
We feed families through our network of agency partners. Food pantries and drive-through mobile distributions provide groceries to take home. Some of these groceries are provided by the TEFAP* federal nutrition program. Community kitchens provide prepared meals for families to eat on-site.
To find a partner near you, visit our Food Locator.
* This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is another good option for families. SNAP provides benefits on an EBT card that works like a debit card and allows families to purchase food at grocery stores that meets their dietary and cultural needs.
Learn more about SNAP Assistance and how to contact our SNAP team for assistance applying for benefits.
