💛 Supporting Our Community Through Uncertain Times
This week, the County of Monterey Board of Supervisors took swift action to ensure our residents continue to have access to food during the federal government shutdown. The Board approved an urgency allocation of $150,000 to support our local food bank and help families who rely on SNAP/CalFresh benefits throughout November.
This one-time funding will bridge the gap as federal contingency funds are processed — ensuring that over 51,000 local residents, including 29,000 children, have the food they need.
We encourage our community partners, organizations, and local jurisdictions to share this important information and, if possible, join the County in pledging funds to strengthen food access across Monterey County.
Together, we can make sure no one goes hungry. 🍎💚
