The New Jersey Department of Human Services has announced that SNAP and WIC benefits for November may be delayed.

More than 800,000 residents rely on SNAP each month, and nearly 165,000 women and children depend on WIC for healthy foods and nutrition. Families across New Jersey need support to ensure they can put meals on the table—not just for Thanksgiving, but every day this month.

Take a minute to make your voice heard. Tell the Governor and your state legislators to use emergency funds to ensure families receive their benefits.

Men’s mental health matters, and speaking up can make all the difference. While many men experience anxiety or depression, too few seek help.

Opening up about struggles helps break the stigma, supports others to do the same, and creates spaces where men feel safe to share their stories. Strength isn’t silent; it’s in connection and community.
