South Coast Food Share recently announced an urgent need for local food drives to provide immediate relief for local families, citing a critical increase in need as approximately 18,000 Coos County residents are set to lose their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits before the holiday season begins.
The organization is calling on the community to mobilize quickly to ensure meals and groceries are available for the most vulnerable populations in Coos County.
Event Details:
