When the sudden SNAP government shutdown hit, a quiet anxiety spread through our local senior housing buildings. For our neighbors living on strict, fixed incomes, a delay in food benefits isn't just an inconvenience—it means empty cupboards overnight.
We knew we had to act immediately. Thanks to an incredible flood of volunteers—led by the wonderful congregation at St. Mark's Episcopal Church—our community rallied to support over 400 local seniors right when they needed it most.
More Than Just Groceries
With a delivery truck loaded packed bags containing a week’s worth of food and supplies for every single resident. Inside, we made sure they had everything they needed to get through the crisis with dignity and comfort:
Fresh fruit and nutritious pantry staples.
Ready to heat-and-eat meals to make dining easy and stress-free.
Pet food so their beloved furry companions didn't go hungry either.
Cleaning supplies and more
The Impact Beyond Flowers
