WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to the Trump Administration’s refusal to continue providing food assistance to over 42 million Americans in need via SNAP, including approximately 16 million children and 8 million seniors, 50501 and its partners in the No Kings Alliance are calling on everyone to support mutual aid funds and local food banks in their communities.
Here are three ways to take action:
| Donate to your local food bank. Support your local food bank or mutual aid network with a financial gift to help feed families directly impacted by the shutdown. Collect and distribute to your local community shelter. Donate food, clothing, menstrual products, and any other essential supplies to existing local food banks or shelters. Check with your local organizations first to see what they need most. Host a give-back drive in your community. Visit NoKings.org to learn more and start a food/supply drive. |
