Tomorrow isn’t just the start of June…it’s also the beginning of Philly Pride Month! We look forward to celebrating the diversity of our city and uplifting the LGBTQIA+ community all month long.

Whether you are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or an ally, kick off the month by showing your pride at the “BE YOU” Pride March and Pride Festival on June 2nd.

Then check out this calendar for a full list of ways you can show love and support throughout June! 

If you are unfamiliar with LGBTQIA+ issues or want to learn how you can better support the community, see the resources below. 

POLICY & ADVOCACY

The Coalition’s Advocacy team will be in DC on June 5 as part of the National Anti-Hunger Policy Conference. We will be talking to legislators about our priorities for the upcoming Farm Bill, the piece of legislation that includes SNAP, as well as letting legislators know what we are seeing in their districts. As community members, you all have an important perspective on food insecurity and the food safety net that our legislators need to hear.

Send us an email with what you want your legislators to know about food insecurity and feeding programs in your community by emailing our Director of Policy & Education, Katie Milholin, at [email protected] before June 5th. Thank you for your partnership!

SNAP HOTLINE

If you live in Philadelphia, Bucks, or Chester County and would like assistance applying for SNAP benefits, completing your annual renewal, or finding food pantries near you, call our SNAP Hotline Monday - Thursday from 9:00am - 5:00pm and on Friday from 9:00am - 4:00pm at 215-430-0556. Asistencia también disponible en Español.
