HOW TO HELP FAMILIES LOSING SNAP

On November 1, an estimated 2.4 million Americans will lose SNAP benefits. Federal food commodities to Connecticut have been cut by $2.7 million so far this year—those cuts represent food that won’t reach families who need it. When federal support disappears, people don’t stop being hungry—they turn to local organizations that are already stretched thin and were unable to plan for the rapid increase in demand.

We know many in this community are looking for ways to help Operation Hope meet the increased demand, and for that, we are deeply grateful. We cannot support our neighbors in need without your help. Click here for some ways to help.
