Feeding Mendocino County
While it’s been a relief to see SNAP recipients get their full benefits in November, the community remains concerned about benefits moving forward. The threat of losing these benefits so suddenly has shaken us, and we no longer can be sure of the stability of programs like SNAP that over 16% of our population count on. During the SNAP crisis, we called on our community to help supplement the expected increase in need, and the community answered-individuals donated, businesses hosted food drives, grocery stores and food sources increased their food donations. We’re incredibly grateful. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on donations and grants to serve the community. We have a strong network and a caring community, and we will leverage that support in the face of any future obstacles to providing emergency food.

$30,000 in 30 Days August Campaign!
This August, the Mendo Food Network is sharing on our website and social media daily posts to highlight how much further a donor's dollar goes in our hands.
With our bulk, wholesale purchasing power, a single dollar can stretch on average 8 times as far! Every day, we're posting an example, from fresh produce to canned goods, that highlights the difference between the retail price and our cost for our most frequently purchased food items.
Help us make a bigger impact with your money by donating directly to the Mendo Food Network at www.mendofood.org/donate (http://www.mendofood.org/donate). Follow along throughout this campaign on Facebook and Instagram, @mendofoodnetwork
