The organizations in this fund provide services including food access, job training and general skill building. These resources help Fairfield families get the support they need to be healthy and thrive in our community.

Good morning all! As many of you may know, the ongoing government shutdown has led to a pause in SNAP benefits, which is having a significant impact on individuals and families who rely on this support to meet basic needs. Regardless of political stance, one thing is clear: people are in need, and we have an opportunity to help. There are many food banks currently seeking volunteers and donations. If you feel moved to support, your contribution whether time, resources, or kindness can make a real difference. Below is a link to volunteer with food banks, Person to Person or Filling in the Blanks in Norwalk. Person to Person/Filling in the Blanks | Fighting Hunger Locally since 2013 If you live outside the area, I encourage you to look into food banks in your own community. There are plenty who would greatly benefit from your help. Quick reminder: ASML may award up to 8 hours of volunteer time. Please check to see if you’re still eligible to use those hours toward this effort. This message is not intended to be political in any way — it’s simply a call to compassion and community support. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you have a wonderful day. ❤️
