Excellent piece from the #AVLWatchdog about #Manna #FoodBank our supplier of groceries to 225 organizations here in #WNC
Cuts to #SNAP & the 2 programs that helped organizations like Manna purchase fresh food from local farmers have cut deeply into their funding, and this is AFTER Helene completely destroyed their warehouse and all of their systems.
They've set up in a new location, & are trying, with community support, to meet the expanding need here for food.
This should be the role of government - to ensure its citizens are not hungry. My local community will not be able to bridge this shortfall.
