Brace For Impact: The Loss of SNAP Benefits
Over the next several months, more than 650,000 people in California will be in jeopardy of losing their CalFresh benefits, carving out an even deeper need for reliance on charities and food banks. Without SNAP, the most susceptible populations in our community are being forced into impossible situations despite already struggling to make ends meet. As income inequality grows and costs of living skyrocket on the Peninsula, thousands at risk are left wondering where their next meal will come from, or if they must choose between paying the rent or feeding their families.
Food insecurity is not a faraway concept — it is the devastating reality for millions of Californians. It is in the face of the woman working multiple jobs. It is in the eyes of the elderly man riding the bus. It is in the voice of the child waiting to be picked up after school. Providing free, healthy groceries isn’t just about nourishing bodies. Investing in nutrition means investing in our community's health, wellbeing, and success. CALL Primrose’s mission to provide free grocery assistance is crucial now more than ever, and our team is working hard every day to support our neighbors. You can make a difference, too. Please consider donating to CALL Primrose and help us make a positive impact on the world.
Summer Lunches Success!
CALL Primrose is happy to report the success of our Summer Lunch program. This program provides lunch supplies to local families who lose access to valuable school lunches during the summer months. Thanks to the efforts of our staff, volunteers, and donors, we were able to provide lunch supplies to 3,400 school aged kids this summer! Thank you to all that supported this project, we are forever grateful!
