Emergency grant coming at a vital time when SNAP benefits are paused and many federal employees have been without a paycheck for some time.
Awarded $40,000 in an emergency fund during the government shutdown which paused all SNAP benefits. The Greater Cleveland Food Bank (GCFB) depends on the generosity of its many supporters to help combat hunger across Northeast Ohio. Individuals facing food insecurity make difficult choices every day.
“The McGregor Foundation has been a long-time partner with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and our partners in reducing food insecurity for older adults,” said Kristin Warzocha, President and CEO of the GCFB. “Recently, the McGregor Foundation increased its support during the government shutdown and pause in SNAP benefits. We thank the Foundation for quickly responding to this emergency and for their incredible support of our Senior Nutrition Initiative programs.”
