They told us to brace for impact!!!!! For November
When we gathered for our team meeting, it wasn’t just another check-in it was a moment of truth. With the SNAP cuts taking effect, we knew our community would feel it deeply. But this isn’t the first time we’ve faced a storm.
We remembered the days of the pandemic when we served 20,000 families in just three months, and that one unforgettable day when we broke records and served 2,000 families in a single distribution. We’ve been here before. We know what resilience looks like.
We’re not a fully funded organization. We’re not fancy. We’re not “cookie cutter.” We’re original. We’re raw. We’re real!!
Our founders philosophy is simple:
“If you want to help, then help. Put your money where your mouth is. Show up.” Fatima Abueid
And we do. Every week.
With sweat, with heart, with unity.
As I stood beside my mom, preaching that same message, I looked around the room and saw strength incredible women standing tall, saying:
“We’re with you. We’re in this together.”
We don’t know how many families will come through our doors in the days ahead,
but we do know this:
We’ll be ready.
We’ll show up.
because that’s who we are.
This is community. This is SANAD
