For those looking for the Food Shelters in your area associated with the MG Food Bank:

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Shelly Simmons on August 29, 2025. Shelly served as our Executive Director from September 2017 to present. During her tenure, we saw substantial growth as I&R services for people with disabilities went Statewide and funds for home modifications and other services increased substantially. Her death will leave an irreplaceable void in the Independent Living Movement, but her life’s work in Independent Living left a strong Statewide Independent Living Council with increased staff poised to continue her work.
