A Boost for Our Backpack Program
It has been an incredible year for Rainier Valley Food Bank, filled with fruitful partnerships, new connections, and growing programs. Amongst it all, we recognize that our organization would not be the same without the continuous support of our community. With the turmoil surrounding the school schedules since 2020 we are appreciative of the continued support of our Backpack Program.
More Without Food Stamps
SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, commonly known as food stamps, are a critical resource for 46.5 million Americans across the US. They provide a reliable source of money that can be spent at grocery stores and farmers markets to buy fresh, healthy groceries. Not only do they alleviate financial pressures faced by low-income households, they also increase food security for recipients.
