Hunger is unacceptable. On Nov 1, SNAP benefits will be cut for 40 M children, elderly, and those with disabilities. Food banks are already stretched thin due to funding cuts. Please donate AND share food banks links to #writersagainsthunger #kidlitcommunity #writingcommunity #sff

As the federal government steps away from longtime safety nets, it's never been more important to get involved.
