The government shutdown puts the 7,500 Hancock County residents who use SNAP (food stamps) on the brink of a full-blown hunger crisis. Food pantries like Loaves & Fishes now find themselves on the front lines of support.

You can help with a financial donation, donating nonperishable food items, or conducting a food/funds drive at your organization. We know that this amazing community will stand up for our most vulnerable neighbors as it always does.

You can also call your elected representatives and urge them to get to work to resolve this crisis.
