Event banner reads "The People's Pantry: 42 million Americans are currently at risk of hunger unless the Trump Administration releases $6 billion in emergency SNAP funds. Join furloughed federal workers and allies for a food drive. Collected food will be delivered to partnering food banks." Followed by the details of the event, specifying a rally at 3:30.


As the Trump Administration attempts to block emergency SNAP funds and dismantles public services, federal workers, faith leaders, unions, and allies are stepping up to make sure hungry Americans are fed by collecting food and donations. Join us on Thursday, bring nonperishable food donations, and help us spread the word.

You can also donate directly, but please come on Thursday!
