During the Shutdown
Community Food Drive: Feed a Family for $8
As the federal government shutdown continues, many Washington families have lost access to SNAP food benefits. This means more people in our own community are struggling to put food on the table.
At Advocates Recovery Services, we believe no one should go hungry. That’s why we’re launching the “Feed a Family” Food Drive, providing complete, ready-to-cook meal bags to families in need.
Each Family Meal Bag includes:
A printed recipe card,
All canned and shelf-stable ingredients needed for a healthy dinner for four, and
Simple, family-friendly recipes like Chicken Macaroni Skillet and Vegetarian Chili.
How You Can Help
1️⃣ Sponsor a Meal – $8 feeds a family of four.
