Support JFCS during potential SNAP cuts

Every day, more families are turning to the JFCS Sonny & Janet Meyer Food Pantry for assistance, and the need is increasing at a faster rate than ever. With potential SNAP cuts on the horizon, too many of our neighbors risk losing the support they depend on just to put food on the table. Your gift today helps ensure no one in our community faces hunger alone! Every dollar you give provides groceries, stability, and hope for families right here in our community.

The safety net starts with us, and together we will stand with our neighbors in Louisville.
