Our community is stepping up — here’s a local resource helping families through the government shutdown.
💔 It’s hard to believe we have to mobilize our Crisis Relief team again.
From the COVID pandemic to the East Palestine Train Derailment, our team has always stepped up to meet the needs of local children during times of crisis, and now, we’re doing it again during the government shutdown.
Children in Columbiana and rural Mahoning County affected by the shutdown - including children of federal workers and SNAP recipients - can come to our facility on Wednesday, November 5th and Wednesday, November 12th from 4–6 PM to receive a bag of food. (We will add additional days as needed.)
📍 1909 N. Ellsworth Ave., Salem, OH 44460
👉 Requirements:
*Children must be present OR adult must present SNAP benefit letter listing all qualifying children in the home.
*Federal workers must bring proof of employment and birth certificates for each child if they are not present.
No child should go hungry during a crisis and we’re dedicated to shining light during these dark times. 💙🌤️🧡
*Rural Mahoning County = West Branch, Sebring, South Range, Western Reserve & Jackson-Milton School Districts.
🌞💙🧡
