food pantries and food banks are crucial in addressing the basic needs of individuals facing food insecurity. millions of people in america and puerto rico will be affected and have been these past and coming weeks. if you can donate to any of the ones that accept donations, if you have the means and are willing to, i ask you do to protect those who will struggle in these coming weeks. if not, thats okay, please at least share and i hope those who need this now can benefit from the support provided by this list. our communities need union and compassion always.

i share these resources for anyone who may need them whether to feed their families through these times or who are willing to volunteer to support their local neighborhoods. many of these are free and need our support in this coming time of need for billions, just getting these out there to people in itself is enough. reblog, share, donate if possible or add on if you know any more resources that can help anyone at this time! 🤍
