SNAP benefits are under attack during this government shutdown and food banks are picking up the slack. But they need your help.

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the District. And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same. It’s time we put our money where our mouth is.

The single most effective way to help food banks right now is with a recurring monthly donation. You can give monthly to the Greater Chicago Food Depository here: https://www.chicagosfoodbank.org/ Or if you live elsewhere in the US, find a local food bank to donate to here: https://foodfinder.us/
