Read the latest about how ACCFB has responded to the shutdown and its cascading effects at accfb.org/distributing-food-government-shutdown-2025
As we work to recover from the shutdown, meet the needs of community members who have lost SNAP benefits permanently, and head into the busiest time of year; we cannot do it alone. Community support is essential to ensure that everyone in Alameda County has the food they need and deserve.
❤️ 🧡 💛 Thank you for the role you have played in volunteering, donating, participating in food drives, spreading the word, and in all the many ways you care for your community.
While SNAP benefits for many have begun to come through, we are hearing estimates that 15,000-20,000 community members are seeing their SNAP benefits cut permanently due to federal cuts taking effect, which will have both a short- and long-term impact on demand.
We are planning to distribute 2 million additional pounds of food through December based on our partner network’s needs as we head into the busy holiday season.
The government shutdown has ended, but we know that its impact persists. With emergencies like this, we often see that just because the shutdown itself is over, the impact lingers for many. (Thread)
Bagging onions today for the Alameda County Community Food Bank @accfb.bsky.social ❤️
Dozens of East Bay residents, including my office, volunteered at the @accfb.bsky.social today. I am inspired to see so many people step up and give their time to support those in need. This is what community looks like.
As @replsimon.bsky.social said, "We will take care of our own." Watch the full press conference, including remarks from ACCFB's Executive Director, Regi Young at youtube.com/live/wtN-Y0v...
At a press conference on Friday, Shantesha Fluker shared about what SNAP means for her and her family, and local leaders spoke about the latest SNAP delays and how local governments and organizations are working together to ensure that everyone in Alameda County can access food.
"SNAP isn't a luxury. It's a lifeline that gives working families a chance to stay stable, healthy, and hopeful." -Shantesha Fluker
SNAP benefits are delayed for the month of November, while the federal government shutdown continues. Many thousands of people who rely on SNAP to help meet their food needs will be affected across Alameda County. Here are some updates and resources! #SNAP #CalFresh @accfb.bsky.social
