Students are back in the classroom, and our volunteers are back in the warehouse! 📚⏰

For many families, the school year brings more than just new schedules. It brings new challenges. Around 1.5 million children nationally have already faced a loss of food stamps since new restrictions and limitations were added to SNAP benefits.

Our Power Pack Program is helping ensure local students have access to nutritious meals over the weekend. Each pack is carefully assembled with 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 2 dinners, snacks, and juice to help bridge the gap when school meals aren't available.

We're so grateful for the volunteers who continue to show up for our neighbors and help make weekend meals one less worry for our local families.

Ready to make an impact this school year? Find out how to donate P3 packs or volunteer through our website! https://foodforothers.org/

It only takes 1! 🌱

When life gets busy, it can be challenging to find time to get involved with your community.

But there's good news: There's always a way to make a difference! Giving back doesn't have to be overwhelming. Just 1 volunteer shift or a 1-dollar donation can help our neighbors access the food they need.

Meet our neighbor, Francis. 🏡

Francis visits My Market with her children, who look forward to browsing the donated books available in the lobby while she checks in with our Client Intake team.

When asked about her experience, Francis says the support she receives goes beyond food assistance.

"The staff and volunteers are very kind and are always willing to help."

While teachers head back to set up their classrooms today, Food for Others is also ramping up the P3 Program to provide weekend meals for the school year 🎒. Since the beginning of the month, our volunteer P3 packers and drivers have been working to make this school year the most impactful yet!

We love seeing our group volunteers in action! 💪

Yesterday, our warehouse team was joined by an amazing crew from Whole Foods, who helped sort, clean, and organize fresh produce that will soon make its way to neighbors across our community. A huge thank you to the Whole Foods Market team for lending a hand and helping make a difference. 🌱

Yesterday's farm stand included a special guest: HydroHarvest! 🌱

HydroHarvest is a local, student-led initiative bringing low-maintenance hydroponic kits to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Hydroponics is gardening without soil; instead substituting nutrient rich water to help plants grow and thrive. Stella, HydroHarvest’s founder, brought pamphlets for instructions on how to care for the seedlings.

Thanks for sharing this important initiative to our community, Stella! 👏
