This past week, calls to our Emergency Food Helpline increased by nearly 200% compared to the weeks before.

ACCFB is here, as always, to be a resource for the community, to ensure that everyone has the food that they need to thrive. But we can’t do it alone.

Importantly, 15,000-20,000 people in Alameda County will also lose their SNAP benefits permanently due to federal cuts in HR1 starting on Saturday.

🚨 Tomorrow nearly 180,000 community members in Alameda County will not receive the SNAP benefits they count on to buy groceries, and federal workers are continuing to miss paychecks, as the government shutdown continues.

“Even if elected officials in Washington D.C. break their promises, the food bank will continue to keep ours," said Ezer Pamintuan, ACCFB's Senior Policy Advocate.

Trump slashed funding to food stamps. Bay Area food banks are preparing for the worst

CalFresh gives at least 735,000 people across California the ability to keep food on the table. But advocates say the Trump administration’s SNAP cuts will have dire effects in the Bay Area.
