Looking for ways to support immigrant and refugee families impacted by SNAP delays and impending eligibility changes? Below is a list of ways you can give your money or time to make sure local families are fed.
The cruel– and confusing – changes to the SNAP program in the midst of the government shutdown and as a result of H.R. 1 have a disproportionate impact on immigrant and refugee communities. Here’s how you can support partners working with RCP to make sure our folks are not left out from emergency response to this crisis.
Support RCP's Team
In times of crisis, immigrant and refugee folks often get left behind due to a lack of effective outreach in our communities. RCP’s team is playing the critical role of bridging the gap for Members who speak 10+ languages and have varying cultural dietary restrictions, even as we face funding cuts that threaten the future of our community-led model for support.
Donate to Al Muslim Net
This Raleigh-based organization is a lifeline for our families who eat Halal and need food support that meets their cultural and religious needs.
Donate to Transplanting Traditions
Transplanting Traditions farm supplies Southeast Asian vegetables to local partners (like Porch!) for distribution to refugee families to meet their cultural dietary needs. The Community Farm also supports food sovereignty in the refugee community through access to land, education and opportunities for refugee farmers.
Donate to Triangle Mutual Aid
Triangle Mutual Aid is a long-term partner that supports many immigrant and refugee families in times of crisis with solidarity not charity – from natural disaster relief to emergency cash and food assistance. If you align with TMA’s Points of Unity and want to get involved, join our Community Signal chat!
