Today, we celebrate the start of Black History Month—a time to uplift, honor, and reflect on the powerful contributions of Black leaders, visionaries, and changemakers throughout history. At The Snack Sack, we know that Black history is more than a month—it's a legacy of resilience, community, and excellence that continues to shape our world today. From the past to the present, we stand in gratitude for the trailblazers who paved the way and the voices still pushing for progress. This month (and always!), let's commit to learning, supporting, and giving back. How will you honor Black History Month? Drop your thoughts below! ⬇️ #BlackHistoryMonth #CelebrateBlackVoices #CommunityFirst #TheSnackSack

FEDERAL FUNDING FREEZE: WE’RE TAKING ACTION! Families in our community face uncertainty due to the recent freeze on federal funding. While officials say WIC & SNAP won’t be affected, we’re not taking any chances. That’s why we’re raising $10,000 to provide $100 grocery gift cards to 100 families in need. Every donation helps put food on the table and relieves the burden during this difficult time. Will you help us reach our goal? Every $100 = 1 family supported. Donate today via: 1. CashApp: $ChamiekaSH 2. Venmo: @Chamieka 3. https://lnkd.in/g_tke7UY Your support makes a direct impact. Let’s come together for our community! #FamiliesFirst #CommunitySupport #TheSnackSack

Hi, Snack Sack community, it’s Chamieka. I know the January 28 executive order to freeze federal funding has many of us feeling frustrated, confused, and scared. This decision impacts vital programs like housing assistance, disaster relief, and healthcare. While officials say WIC and SNAP are unaffected, we’re not taking any chances. At The Snack Sack, we’re already moving: -Reaching out to local food pantries - Researching state grants - Exploring new ways to provide support You are not alone; we will continue to be here for you. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, here are some resources to lean on right now: Text HOME to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line. Find a local food pantry using your zip code at Feeding America. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more. Remember, we are in this together. Stay connected and reach out if you need us. Warmly, Chamieka House-Osuya Founder, The Snack Sack
