The House passed a bill to end the shutdown this evening, and it will fully end once the president signs the bill. However, our community members are still struggling to make ends meet and get food to their tables. While SNAP benefits will get released shortly after signing, there is still a food crisis occurring.
We will continue to collect food in our lobby and in the bin during the off hours through this winter to benefit our local families at One Valley Free Store in Homestead. They have seen triple the amount of folks the past 2 Saturdays, and expect a large crowd this Saturday. Thank you to all who have donated, and we look forward to sharing the love through this winter season. 🫶🏼
Update: We are still collecting through the winter months. Stop by our lobby or bin outside. 🫶🏼

As many of you know, Katie, one of the co-owners of SVWG also operates the One Valley Free Store in Homestead. To help support not only the increase of folks due to food prices, and now the budget impasse and shutdown, we are collecting non-perishable food items in our lobby.
Hours:

8 am - 3 pm Friday
Sealed bin outside of our doors Saturday & Sunday
Options: Peanut butter, raviolis/spaghettios, soup, Mac n cheese cups, canned chili, canned tuna/chicken, all canned fruits/veggies/beans, etc.
Everything collected will go to our local families here in SV, as they shop every 1st and 3rd Saturday at .
Thank you for helping us help our neighbors. 🫶🏼
