John,
Thank you to everyone who responded to our previous email about how we can provide food to our neighbors in Washington’s 6th District who need it most!
Here are even MORE local resources to help folks on SNAP ⬇️
• The Emergency Food Network [[link removed]] has a map of food pantries, meal sites, and food lockers across Pierce County.
• Coastal Harvest [[link removed]] lists dozens of its partner food banks in Grays Harbor, Pacific, Lewis, Thurston, Mason, Jefferson, and Wahkiakum counties.
• The Kitsap Food Bank Coalition partners with food pantries and food banks across Kitsap County:
• Helpline House [[link removed]] on Bainbridge Island
• Bremerton Foodline [[link removed]] in Bremerton
• Central Kitsap Food Bank [[link removed]] in Silverdale
• Fishline [[link removed]] in Poulsbo
• St. Vincent de Paul [[link removed]] in Bremerton
• ShareNet [[link removed]] in Kingston
• South Kitsap Helpline [[link removed]] in Port Orchard
• North Mason Food Bank [[link removed]] in Belfair
• The Port Angeles Food Bank and WSU Extension Clallam County created a living document of food resources across Clallam County [[link removed]] .
While Emily continues to work in D.C. to end the shutdown, restore SNAP funding, and prevent health insurance premiums from skyrocketing, we can ALL play a part in ensuring our neighbors have the food they need.
Thank you for everything you do 💙

John,
Last month, the Trump administration said that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) benefits would run out on November 1 [[link removed]] . Today, they announced they will partially fund SNAP [[link removed]] , but the process could take months.
While Emily and House Democrats work toward a solution in Congress, ALL of us can step up to help the 115,000 of our neighbors in Washington’s 6th District who receive SNAP benefits (also known in WA as Basic Food):
• Donate – This is the most helpful thing you can do to address immediate needs. Use this tool from 211 Washington [[link removed]] to find your nearest pantry or food bank. If you’re in the Bremerton area, you can support Bremerton Foodline. [[link removed]]
While donations of non-perishable food are always appreciated, donating money allows local food banks to purchase exactly what their community needs. Since they buy in bulk, $1 donated to a food bank can buy as much as $11 worth of groceries.
• Volunteer – If you can give your time, you can do many different things: Host a food drive, sort and pack donations, deliver meals, help people apply for benefits, and more. Northwest Harvest [[link removed]] has links to volunteer opportunities across the state, and you can always call your local food bank and ask what they need.
• Advocate – In the short term, we must end the Trump shutdown and fully fund SNAP. You can use this call script. [[link removed]] Here in Washington, the Anti-Hunger and Nutrition Coalition [[link removed]] works on these issues year-round.
But every issue, from Medicaid and insurance premiums to wages and collective bargaining, is intertwined with hunger. That’s why Team Emily is organizing to elect leaders at the state and federal levels who put people first.
