While SNAP benefits were paused, ServiceNet launched a food drive and food pantry to support ServiceNet community members, and the response has been incredible. 💜🍲

We know food insecurity continues to be a real challenge. That’s why we’re keeping the food drive and pantry support going through November, and possibly through the December holiday season based on need.

A huge thank you to ServiceNet's Prospect Meadow Farm which has stepped in to lead operations for this effort. With their strong food operations and delivery experience from running an annual CSA, they’ve been an amazing partner in ensuring donations reach the ServiceNet individuals and families who need them most. They've also been able to include a bag of fresh winter vegetables with each delivery!

And to everyone who has contributed so far—thank you. Your generosity is truly making a difference for our community. 💜

What an incredible Haunted House fundraiser!🎃👻

ServiceNet's Prospect Meadow Farm made an incredible haunted house experience for so many people. Over the weekend of the 24th, the farm hosted three events: a sensory-friendly kids’ night, an evening for farm participants and their families, and a truly spooky night for adults. Together, the events welcomed over 170 attendees.

The goal of the event was to create an event that participants could be proud of and take ownership of, while having tons of fun!

The farmhands were involved in every step of the way—creating the haunted house story line, building and decorating, and volunteering at the events. The Skillbuilders Makerspace + program also put in a lot of great work creating spooky decorations for the event. 🎃🕸️🕷️

Invisible disabilities are invisible- not imaginary. Many people live with chronic pain, mental health struggles, physical disabilities or other conditions that can’t be seen, but are deeply felt.

Though Invisible Disabilities Week is only 7 days long, ServiceNet works year-round in raising awareness and compassion for those living with unseen challenges. Let’s listen, believe, and support one another.
Did you know? Sunflowers are the symbol for invisible disabilities 🌻
