"We no longer have food stamps. My husband currently works two jobs, but the issue is, you know, we really can't afford food. Sometimes, there are hard decisions that we do have to make. Me and my husband, we do put our kids above ourselves. There are days to where he will just eat snacks at work if need be, or I just go without food altogether to make sure my kids are fed. So hearing that you guys are here to help families, it really helps." - Kit, mother and Feed the Children recipient
In recent years, changes to SNAP benefits have left many families struggling. To put food on the table, many of them have had to divert money from other places in the budget - rent, medical expenses, bills - and, sometimes, parents go without so their children can eat.
A Feed the Children #ResourceRally provides more than food. Boxes of health and hygiene essentials go home with participating families, helping stretch thin budget further and improving lives for parents like Kit.
