Right now, many families in our community are facing unexpected challenges due to a temporary pause in SNAP benefits. This has led to a significant increase in the number of people turning to local food pantries for essential support. These vital organizations are stretching their resources to ensure no one goes hungry, but they need our help to keep up with the growing demand. In Anderson County alone, over 10,000 households receive SNAP benefits affecting over 22,000 individuals.
Through the United Way of Anderson County, your generous donation can make an immediate difference. We're partnering with local food pantries to provide the extra capacity, supplies, and assistance they need to serve our friends, families, and neighbors during this time.
