More than 15,000 people in Indian River County rely on SNAP and WIC benefits, and they’re being directly impacted by the ongoing government shutdown. To help ease the burden, we’re collecting non-perishable food items like rice, beans, canned vegetables, cereal, and more for the Fellsmere Community Fridge.
📍 Drop donations at our office: 2706 20th Street, Monday–Thursday, 10 AM–3 PM
United Against Poverty has also launched a food voucher program to support SNAP recipients. If you’re able, please donate directly through their website using the button below:
Unfortunately, this crisis won’t end with charity alone. The only real solution is for our representatives to negotiate with Democrats and end the shutdown. Let them know we are not bargaining chips. Demand full funding for SNAP and Medicaid now.
Please help us amplify this effort. Share the flier and spread the word throughout our community. Collective action is how we get through moments like this.
