🚨 NEARLY 25 MILLION AMERICANS FACE HUNGER BUT EARN TOO MUCH TO QUALIFY FOR FOOD ASSISTANCE.

Read that again.

Millions of people are struggling to afford groceries but fall outside the income limits for federal nutrition assistance.

Working families. Parents. Seniors. Our neighbors. Earning too much for help doesn't mean earning enough to eat. At Gladewaves, we believe nobody should fall through the cracks. 💚

At Gladewaves, we provide FREE lunches for seniors, helping ease the financial burden while ensuring our older neighbours have access to nutritious meals.

🥗 Your donations help us keep those lunches free and plates full.

Because no senior should have to choose between paying their bills and putting food on the table. 💚

🚨 SENIORS, BEWARE! MEDICARE SCAMS ARE ON THE RISE! 🚨

With Medicare Open Enrollment underway, scammers are targeting seniors with convincing phone calls, texts and emails.

⚠️ WATCH OUT FOR:
📞 Calls asking you to verify your Medicare number
💳 Offers of new plastic or gold Medicare cards
🏥 Promises of free medical equipment or testing
📱 Fake MyChart messages asking for personal information
💚 REMEMBER: Never share your Medicare number or personal details with someone who contacts you unexpectedly. If you're unsure, hang up and contact Medicare directly at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

At Gladewaves, looking after our seniors means helping keep them safe, too!
PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH YOUR PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS AND ELDERLY NEIGHBORS! 💚

A quick conversation could protect someone from a costly scam.

💚 SNAP changes start TODAY — and here’s what families need to know.

Most households will see a small increase in benefits to account for inflation. For a one-person household, the maximum rises from $298 to $306 a month.
But stricter eligibility requirements are also coming in the months ahead, which could affect who qualifies for assistance.

🥫 If you or someone you know relies on SNAP, now is a good time to check your benefits and stay informed.

Please share — this could help a neighbor. 💚
