On November 1st, SNAP benefits (food stamps), will be suspended. This will affect over 40 million people across the US, or 12% of the population. In SW Michigan, over 20,000 people will be impacted. This includes the unhoused, the elderly, and families with children.
The average benefit per household per month is $335. Losing this money creates tough decisions on which bills to pay—rent, electric, gas, etc. A report today on NPR called the need “insurmountable”.
At Neighbor by Neighbor, we are working to ensure we can meet the need. Our food pantry is stocked now and we are committed to ensuring we can meet the need going forward. You can help!
Our Most Needed Items right now are: Canned Pastas, Hearty Soups, Body Wash, and Toilet Paper.
