Residents have likely seen the news about the federal pause on SNAP benefits - and how it is affecting families right here in Snoqualmie Valley. Many neighbors are worried about what comes next, and the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank (SVFB) is already feeling the impact.
The SVFB’s biggest message right now is that they are here for everyone. No one is ever turned away. The SVFB’s dedicated staff and volunteers are finding creative ways to meet this growing need, by expanding partnerships, building a regional food distribution plan, and finding new ways to stretch every dollar and every can of food. To keep their shelves stocked and our neighbors nourished, the SVFB is asking all of us to SNAP into action.
How you can help right now
- Spread the word: If you or someone you know needs food, come to the SVFB. They’re here for you, no questions, no judgment.
- Network: If you are part of a business or organization, ask if they’d be interested in being a food distribution site. By creating more ways to get food to people, the SVFB can increase food access.
- Donate: Look for SVFB donation bins at stores, or host a drive.
- Give: Your financial support keeps shelves stocked, heat going, lights on!
