How You Can Help
Due to the recent government shutdown and cuts to SNAP benefits, many families in our community are facing increased hardship. Food insecurity is growing, and local pantries are struggling to keep up.
We have received requests from employees wanting to know how they can help. Below is a list of places in Madison and St. Clair Counties that you can donate to. Some places are drop off only, while others both accept donations and give donations to people in need of assistance. Drop off/Donation dates may change as needs change. Many of these places have social media pages that update their hours, needs, etc. You can also call to see what items your location of choice may be in need of.
Note: If seeking assistance, please call the location before arriving. Some locations have specific dates/times they are open. These places may have requirements to receive aid.
