Assist Others - SNAP

As many of you may have heard, due to the shutdown of the federal government, funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is expected to expire on November 1st. Over 750,000 Alabamians rely on SNAP benefits to feed their families, including one in four households in the Birmingham community. While we continue to pray for those affected by this pause in benefits, we at All Saints want to be proactive in responding to what could become a major need in our community. To that end, All Saints has already approved financial support for
Homewood Helps to increase support for local families as well as financial support for those affected in rural parts of Alabama through Sawyerville. If you would like to contribute to these financial gifts, you may do so on Realm by selecting Homewood Helps or Outreach Fund or dropping off a check at the church and indicating the purpose for the funds on the check.
In response to the pause in SNAP benefits, Homewood Helps is opening up a Wednesday afternoon Homewood Helps Market shopping day starting November 12th at the Outreach Hub, for Homewood families to come shop for free weekly groceries. In addition to financial support, All Saints will be collecting breakfast items to deliver to the Trinity HUB on November 10th. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please bring any of the following breakfast items to the Great Hall before November 10th: oatmeal, cereal, granola or breakfast bars, or grits.
Finally, we will share opportunities for you to give your time in helping these ministries in an upcoming announcement. As always, thank you for all you do to support our neighbors.
