Great news! A group of caring donors was inspired to give an additional $25,000 to our Love Thy Neighbor matching gift challenge.

And this gift couldn’t come at a better time because your most vulnerable neighbors — like sweet Sadeo — urgently need your help.

When you share your love by June 30, your generosity will DOUBLE. Every dollar you give will provide:

- Twice the lifesaving food.
- Twice the critical care.
- Twice the hope for families facing extreme hardship.

Do not wait while innocent lives hang in the balance. Give today, double your impact and be the lifeline children like Sadeo desperately need.

Give TODAY: https://bit.ly/4vfHKom

Until your love reaches every neighbor.

You may be hearing more about SNAP right now, but what does it actually do?

SNAP helps more than 41 million people afford food each month, with most households already living in poverty.

As conversations about federal spending and nutrition programs continue, it’s important to understand what SNAP really means for families.

It helps stretch grocery budgets, supports better health, and strengthens local communities.

Because for millions of people, SNAP helps make sure there’s food on the table.
