Dear Community,
We are aware that there are those in the congregation who may be worried about experiencing food insecurity as the SNAP benefits (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) are withheld or at least held up by the government. We do not want anyone to go hungry. We do not want anyone to feel isolated in dealing with this. Food is a human right.

The church can help. Please let us know, and we will connect you with resources. You can talk to Rev. Chris or any one of us.
