We know that team work makes the dream work and our pantry volunteers are a dream to work with! We have such an amazing group of folks that even though we're working on getting food out to our neighbors in need, we have fun doing it!
Yesterday, we had a volunteer appreciation picnic to thank all our awesome volunteers!
We couldn't take care of our neighbors without you!
Thank you so much!

Dear Love Chippewa Friends,

Thank you.

For 24 years you have shown up—sometimes in a high school gym, sometimes in other borrowed spaces—and turned an ordinary Saturday into a morning of care, dignity, and hope. You registered guests, checked vision, gave haircuts, prayed with people, served meals, and simply treated every person like they mattered. That long string of events has been a quiet, faithful gift to our community.

I was honestly sad when it looked like that string might end. Then Dr. Cook offered to host this year’s clinic at his office. That one “yes” kept the work going.

This year’s Love Chippewa Free Clinic will look a little different:

Saturday, September 26, 2026
8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Chiropractic care will be inside Cook Chiropractic Center.
Vision screening will be next door.
Haircuts and the cookout will take place at Hope Village (right next door).
John Shakal from the Catholic Church is bringing a prayer table so guests can receive prayer and encouragement throughout the morning.
It is still the same heart: meeting physical needs as a doorway to something deeper. We just get to do it in a new setting this year.

We need helpers. If you have served before, you already know how the day works and how much your presence matters. If you can join us even for a few hours, it would mean a great deal.

Please reply to this email or call me at (715) 379-0826 if you are able to help, have questions, or simply want to stay connected.

Thank you again for every Saturday you have given. Because of you, this work is still happening.

With gratitude,

Perry Polnaszek

New national reporting highlights something a lot of families don't realize is connected: SNAP and free school meals.

When a family loses SNAP, their kids can lose automatic eligibility for free school meals too. And when enough students in a school lose SNAP, the whole school can lose the ability to offer free meals to every student, not just the ones who qualify individually.

According to the article, up to 18.3 million students nationally could be affected this school year. For a family with two kids in school, losing free meals could mean over $2,000 more in food costs this year alone. Miami-Dade County Public Schools has already had to scale back its free meal program for this reason.

Neighbors count on SNAP for groceries at home and reliable meals for their kids at school.
