As we step into this new month, our hearts are heavy for those impacted by the ongoing government shutdown. Many of our brothers and sisters—furloughed workers, parents, and caregivers—are already feeling the strain. While we are already preparing to make Thanksgiving special for families, I am even more concerned about what happens before the holiday—those quiet days leading up to it when the pantry grows thin, and the fridge grows bare. We are appealing to everyone to sow a seed of $30 or more to help ensure no family connected to us or our community goes hungry.
