As we officially enter the government shutdown and many families are faced with the loss of SNAP benefits for the foreseeable future, many people in our communities are stepping up to make sure no one goes hungry, especially as we rapidly approach the holiday season. To make it easier for those in need of assistance, I've compiled a list of any organizations offering assistance for Thanksgiving in particular, such as food drives, giveaways, etc.
Businesses/organizations are listed alphabetically by county, with links to more information when available. Screenshots of social-media posts will also be posted (click the "x" next to a listing) as available to ensure this information reaches as many people as possible, including those who may not have social-media accounts.
A separate post listing resources available on a more regular basis can be found here. Both posts will be updated regularly as long as needed.
