During times like this, our community’s generosity makes all the difference. If you’re looking for ways to support your neighbors affected by the SNAP disruption, here are a few meaningful ways to help:

• Give financially: Monetary donations allow CAER to purchase the exact food and supplies most in demand. Even a small gift can make a big impact during periods of increased need.
• Donate food: Nonperishable, healthy items are always needed. Breakfast cereal, chunky soups, and shelf-stable meals are hardest to source in bulk. You can find our most needed items list here.
• Spread the word: Share reliable information about local food resources and encourage anyone affected to reach out for help.
