According to Governor Healey, more than 1 million people across our state rely on SNAP benefits. Of those, 32% are children, 31% are people with disabilities, 26% are older adults. In the Town of Southbridge, approximately 36% of residents rely on SNAP to provide food for their families. On Wednesday of this week, Southbridge Food Share served a record number of 46 families ranging in size from 2 to 8!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a>What can you do to help the local pantries assist these residents?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Support the food drive being held by the Masons in Big Bunny Plaza this Saturday. (November 1st!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Provide financial support to your local pantry &#8211; these are all run by volunteers and even a small donation makes a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Volunteer some of your time to assist these pantries. Volunteers are needed during hours of operation and other times during the week as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please consider donating to Food Share by either going on-line to our website&#8217;s Donation page or mailing a check to our PO Box #32 here in Southbridge.
