GBA Quick Peek Guide to Help Your Neighbors!

Local Ways to Support Neighbors Waiting on SNAP Benefits

Our GBA Membership truly spans all sectors, and this morning we're highlighting organizations that YOU can support, to get help into the hands of neighbors in Greenfield who are unable to access the SNAP Benenfits many need to supplement their income for monthly expenses.

Please consider donating OR volunteering for the organizations below! While this is not an exhaustive list, it is a great place to start, and you might be surprised how good helping out feels.

Many recipients of SNAP work full or part time at our local businesses, are veterans, elders, and folks with disabilities that make it hard or impossible to work, and need the boost that SNAP gives them to be able to make ends meet.

Please consider supporting through the organizations below AND maybe shopping for items to donate at one of our local grocers! They are also taking a hit this month, and could use your extra boost to support their own bottom lines. It's an ecosystem, and we're all in it supporting Greenfield-Franklin County businesses TOGETHER!

And a quick note FOR SNAP recipients - if you have at least $0.01 remaining on your EBT Card at the moment, you can qualify for HIP and use it at the Greenfield Farmer's Market - two indoor dates coming up, Saturday, November 8th and Saturday, November 22nd at the Greenfield Public Library.
