If you're a federal employee or SNAP recipient, the City of Tulsa and TMUA are offering a temporary grace period to help during the federal government shutdown.

Your City of Tulsa utility service will not be disconnected during this time. While bills are not being waived, we will pause shutoffs and work with you on manageable payment plans once income or benefits resume.

You will have to submit proof of eligibility as soon as possible. Full details can be found online at www.cityoftulsa.org/utilities.

Please share with anyone you know who is eligible!

Beginning next week, Nov. 1st, TFM will be supplementing the loss of SNAP thanks to private donors and community support! SNAP card holders can stop by our token booth on Saturdays, show their cards, and receive $20 in community tokens to be used at our market. As of now, we have to cap recipients at 70 per market unless more funds are received.

You can help! Pay it forward & bridge the gap- Donate today to the supplement fund so there will be less of a food lapse for SNAP users. SNAP benefits not only help our food-insecure community, they are also a reliable source of income for farmers. Help us continue to get our local, naturally grown food to those who need it the most!

On top of the seed money we received to kick off this program, any additional donations made will be matched up to $4k! Please donate by Nov. 15th to release these additional funds for our customers! Follow the link in the comments to give today. Please indicate SNAP FUND in the gift. All donations are tax-deductible.

Thank you to our supporters who are making this possible 💛
