Visit web.uwba.org/united-to-en... to donate today and help provide immediate relief to those who are struggling with food insecurity in our communities.
November 16 - 22 is Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week and today we have an update on the $2.5 million dollars ($1.5 million in food funds) that is yet to be released into our Bay Area communities through our Emergency Food and Shelter Program. ℹ️⬇️🧵
It’s hard being the CEO because your social media manager always wants “just one more TikTok.”
Donate to United Way Bay Area’s United to End Hunger Fund and help our neighbors eat today. Every $ raised fills critical gaps in the safety net — supporting food banks and community pantries. Just $50 can provide a meal to 15 people.
With the federal government shutdown, a freeze on Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) funds, and SNAP (CalFresh) benefits disrupted, families who once stood steady are facing empty cupboards. ⬇️🧵
More than 760,000 of our neighbors — including 155,900 children — are struggling to put food on the table.
Visit web.uwba.org/united-to-en... to help our neighbors access food now!
More info ℹ️⬇️🧵
This session will provide key updates on the effects of H.R. 1 ("One Big Beautiful Bill Act"), and the government shutdown on regional food access and will foster collaboration to develop both immediate and long-term solutions to keep families fed and housed through this crisis.
As cuts to SNAP and the ongoing budget crisis deepen, local food providers, elected officials, corporate partners, and philanthropic leaders will come together to discuss their impact on #BayArea families.
November 19
2:30 – 4:00 pm
Virtual - Zoom. Visit uwba.org/get-involved... to RSVP for free
