As we move through 2025, our commitment to alleviating hunger and supporting our neighbors remains unwavering. However, recent federal cuts are placing immense strain on food banks nationwide, including ours. The cancellation of over $1 billion in USDA funding and halted food deliveries from The Emergency Food Assistance Program are threatening essential resources, while Emergency Food & Shelter Program funding through FEMA is also at risk.
At the same time, food prices have surged by 20% since 2020, making it harder than ever for families to afford basic necessities. The demand for our services continues to grow, and we need your help now more than ever.
To meet this urgent need, we are launching Double the Impact: The Lawrence Foundation Food Relief Match. Every dollar you donate will be matched, up to $50,000, thanks to the generosity of The Lawrence Foundation. That means your gift will go twice as far in providing food and critical support to more than 1,500 families in our community.
