With the looming pause in SNAP benefits, too many of our neighbors may soon face empty shelves and difficult choices. Food pantries across the country are preparing for increased demand—and need our support more than ever.

OWLSS and WOCC are collecting nonperishable food items and household essentials to support the Iowa City Food Pantry during this challenging time.

Prefer to give cash? Food pantries can stretch your dollar to feed even more families in need. Scan the QR code or click the link here: https://builtbycommunity.org/donate/

Let’s come together to make sure no one in our community goes hungry. 💛
