🍂 ASTORIA: WE NEED YOUR HELP 🍂Now in danger of 828,000 meals lost annually to SNAP benefit cuts in Clatsop County, our neighbors are facing impossible choices this winter. We live in one of the most naturally abundant food landscapes on Earth—and we're not waiting for systems to catch up.
This is a COMMUNITY WIDE, non-partisan event. This is about feeding people and coming together to bridge the gaps in need.
**THANK YOU TO EVERYONE OFFERING TO WRITE CHECKS - we would love to have you write a check directly to one of the agencies, OR if you would like to purchase a COSTCO card, we will make a huge run PRIOR to the event to purchase preferred proteins, supplies and foods as directed by the agencies biggest needs. Contact Emily or Robyn to coordinate!
