With the expected November pause in SNAP benefits due to the federal government shutdown, many of our neighbors are facing new uncertainty. Last week, we saw pandemic-level numbers at our food distributions. These were families and individuals who never imagined needing help, now finding themselves in line.

Please know that we are here to provide resources to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Our network of mobile distributions and partner agencies in Blackford, Delaware, Grant, Henry, Jay, Madison, Randolph, and Wabash counties are open and welcoming. Visit http://curehunger.org/get-help to explore all available resources.

And if you’d like to help our community rise up together, we need your support. Every donation, every food drive, and every hour volunteered makes a real difference. You can get involved here: https://curehunger.org/get-involved/.

We will continue to provide updates regarding our response through our social media channels, email communications, and website.

Thank you for standing with us. When we pull together, no one in East Central Indiana has to face hunger alone.
