SNAP Benefits Fund

Emergency Relief for Families Losing SNAP Benefits

For six years, We Have Stories has stepped up when families needed it most — mobilizing communities to meet urgent needs with dignity and care.

Now, as the government shutdown leaves millions of families without access to SNAP benefits, we’re answering a new emergency. Parents are skipping meals so their children can eat. Grocery shelves are going bare. Communities already living paycheck to paycheck are facing the impossible: hunger without warning.

Our Goal

We’re raising $20,000 to provide direct cash and food assistance to hundreds of families affected by the SNAP interruption. These funds will help cover groceries, meals, and other daily essentials — the things no one should ever have to go without.

What Your Donation Provides

Food and Essentials

• Fresh produce, milk, bread, and pantry staples

• Hot meals and groceries for families in crisis

• Dignity, choice, and relief during a time of deep uncertainty

Direct Cash Support

• Immediate financial relief for those most impacted

• Flexibility for families to address urgent needs

• A lifeline during a government shutdown that has left too many behind

Why It Matters

When SNAP benefits are paused, the ripple effects are devastating. Children go to bed hungry. Seniors ration medication to afford groceries. Parents face choices no one should have to make.

Your donation today can stop that cycle — putting food on tables and hope back in homes.
