SNAP benefits have been temporarily put on hold, leaving those who depend on the program without the funds they rely on for groceries each month. With this pause in place, families are suddenly facing empty fridges and growing uncertainty about how they’ll feed their loved ones.

This growing crisis has been covered by, ABC7 and NBC New York, both of which recently reported from Masbia to show the impact this SNAP pause is having on local families.

At the same time, Masbia Soup Kitchen Network, is stepping up in the face of this growing need. Masbia is scaling up emergency food package deliveries via DoorDash, expanding pantry pick-up appointments through the Digital Breadline (via the Plentiful app), and hiring temporary staff to maintain operations during the crisis. In just the last three days, we have pushed through tons and tons of food to meet rising demand. With your early year-end, tax-deductible donation we can sustain and further increase this vital work, ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry while SNAP hangs in the balance.
