#SNAP

As SNAP and other benefits will lapse on November 1st (this Saturday) for over 40 million people in the U.S., here's some ways you can help (if you are in a position to do so).

1.- Find your local food bank and donate. $10 in their hands do much more for people at risk than your three cans of soup for the same money

2.- Read this post by @mattbc on how to help SNAP recipients NOW.
