Thank you for supporting neighbors like Lameila during the government shutdown. 💛 Lameila, a mom of three and full-time daycare worker, saw her hours cut when many of the families she serves were furloughed. Soon after, she learned her SNAP benefits would also be delayed. With reduced income and rising need, she turned to a food pantry for the first time. “I never thought I would need to visit a pantry, but this helps me out so much. Thank you,” she shared. Thanks to our community and partners, NTFB hosted more than a dozen special distributions during the shutdown and provided extra food to agencies seeing increased demand — ensuring families like Lameila’s had the support they needed. Together, we are here for our neighbors when it matters most. 💚 Read the full story through the link in our bio! #CommunitySupport #FoodPantry #SNAPBenefits #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors #GovernmentShutdown #SupportLocalFamilies #FoodInsecurity #NTFB
