For those that are going to be potentially or are already affected by the cuts on snap benefits (Lost or reduction of benefits, need volunteer/work/training hours or else), please be on the lookout, we have been working hard and will be posting opportunities in a couple of days.
We do not pretend to have the answers for all requests, but our organization have been proactively working on many communities led solutions rooted in resilience to help mitigate the consequences of past and current senseless policies that have crippled low-income families and underserved communities.
It is time to unlock potential and deliver…
You are not alone. There is always a seat for you at our table…
