"People across the country formed long lines for free meals and groceries at food pantries and drive-through giveaways Saturday, after monthly benefits through the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, were suddenly cut off because of the ongoing government shutdown."

If you are concerned about food scarcity in your community (and I hope you are), keep in mind that food banks and food pantries may be inaccessible for people who can't drive.

Make sure your people have the means to get food, and if you are going to a pantry for your own household, see if you can give a friend a lift or pick up food for them, too.

If you follow US politics, you will know that a critical food assistance program is being suspended as the country heads into cold weather. TL;dr People are going to die.

If you can support people you know directly, please do it.

If you can donate to US food banks in absolutely any region, you can save lives.

I don't know if this will work, but I want to give it a try:

If an incentive would help you to donate to a food bank, I will happily give a free audiobook to anyone who donates.

Send me a DM of your receipt with your personal details blacked out if you need to, or just tell me you've donated (this is Fedi, I trust you), and let me know:
1. The title of the book you'd like. (A link to my catalogue follows at the bottom of the post.)
2. If you want a redemption code for Audible US or Audible UK (my only options; you can change your browser setting or app country code to make them work if you are in other regions).

*I am largely offline at the moment but will do my best to respond within 24 hours.

Lives genuinely hang in the balance. Please do what you can, whatever that might be.

If your church is not preparing to stock food pantries next month, they need to pay taxes.
