Please Think 🤔Before Donating To Food Panties.

Items to Avoid 🚫 Donating To Food Panties...🙏

Damaged or Opened Food (Obviously)

Expired Food (Please, check the expiration dates of everything you’re donating and if it’s expired, throw it away).

Perishable Goods (They may not be stored properly, which can cause a food safety hazard, and these foods spoil quickly).

Some Drinks( Many pantries do not accept high-added-sugar items like sodas and some energy drinks).

Supplements. (Due to lack of seal or regulation.This may vary by pantry or bank, so check in with your local volunteers. Focus on donating nutrient-dense foods that highlight vitamins and minerals like trail mix, tuna pouches and dried fruit).

Non-Food Items (There are places to donate clothes, home goods and pet foods, but unless your pantry or food bank says otherwise, do not donate anything other than nonperishable, acceptable food and drink items. Locate a local shelter or community drive to donate to instead )

Donate with intentionality to best honor your food bank’s needs. Food banks could generally use items like shelf-stable proteins, nutritious grains, canned fruits and veggies, nonperishable dairy, low-sodium soups and cooking basics. Culturally relevant foods and cash are also beneficial donations.

The Bottom Line...
Donate nonperishable goods that you would like to receive. Dispose of damaged and expired items, and leave perishable foods at home. To take it a step further, contact your local food bank or pantry and ask what they need most this season to curate to your community’s needs. And if you have questions on what’s acceptable to donate, they will be able to assist you. Sharing is caring Community Hut Healthy Living Market 😇

Your Elected Official Tamika Isaac Devine Senate District 19. You can email her Senate office at Tidevine@scsenate.gov . Your Voice🗣️ Matters. Community information from Community Hut Healthy Living Market

I have been on the phone with staff at DSS last night and this morning to get a better idea of the impact suspension of SNAP benefits will mean to my Senate District.

Due to the system we have, they can only give me county specific data.

Based on these numbers, on average, about 23,000 households in Richland County and roughly 50,000 individuals receive SNAP benefits monthly.

This shutdown will have a HUGE impact on our friends and neighbors right at holiday time when kids will be out of school.

Please know that your elected officials in Richland County are working together to help with information, resources and support for our neighbors during this time.

If you, your church, organization, etc are doing anything to provide meals, resources or support, please let me know so we can organize a comprehensive list of for the community and pool our resources where we can.

You can email that info to my Senate office at Tidevine@scsenate.gov or DM your info.

Thanks.

P.S.A.🇺🇲
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid will not go out Nov. 1, raising the stakes for families nationwide as the government shutdown drags on. 🇺🇲"The new notice comes after the Trump administration said it would not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly referred to as SNAP, flowing into November. That program helps about 1 in 8 Americans buy groceries".🇺🇲

Through prayer and spiritual growth, we can more easily put our past behind us and move forward to achieve the great things God has planned for us.
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland"( Isaiah 43 18:19).

Yellow dragon fruit has recently gained a reputation as "nature's laxative"...It's important to note that the laxative effect of yellow dragonfruit may vary depending on individual factors such as dietary habits and gut health. Excessive consumption may also lead to digestive discomfort, such as diarrhea. It's recommended to consume yellow dragonfruit in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
