Hello everyone!

My name is Ariana Rowe, and as a lifelong Memphian, I understand what it feels like to need help and not know where to turn. I’ve also seen firsthand how many families in our community lack access to essential resources.

With the recent reduction in SNAP benefits, my best friend and I have decided to take action to support those affected. SNAP helps families who don’t always know where their next meal is coming from — no matter their race, creed, gender, or background. By cutting funding to this program, millions of Americans are now at increased risk of food insecurity. Here in Memphis, that’s more than 150,000 individuals who may struggle to put food on the table.

My best friend and I will be overseeing each donation and will be distributing them accordingly to insure that the needs of the less-fortunate are met. For as little as one dollar, you can help ease the impact of this crisis. All proceeds will go directly toward food support for those in need. Your donations will be used to buy food for care packages and will be given in that way. Any donation, big or small, can make a difference. To further support, please reach out to me via phone for the info about the drive on Nov 22!

We are blessed to never have to worry about our next meal — and while others struggle, we have the opportunity to help. Love thy neighbor as much as we love our city. Everyone deserves to eat.

Thank you, and God bless.
