If you’ve seen our recent feature on FOX19, you know the impact of the government shutdown is already being felt across our community. With SNAP benefits paused, families who rely on that critical support are turning to IPM for help — many for the very first time.
In just a week, the need has grown exponentially. Pantry visits have increased by more than 30%, and each day more neighbors arrive unsure of how they will feed their families.
We want to assure you that IPM will continue to serve our neighbors through this crisis and beyond. No matter how long the shutdown lasts, our team remains committed to meeting the need with compassion, dignity, and care — but we can only do this with the help of donations. Financial support allows us to purchase food in bulk, keep our shelves stocked, and respond immediately when needs increase.
If you are able, please consider making a donation today to help sustain this vital work.
There are other ways to support IPM as well:
-
Follow IPM on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn for the most up-to-date information on how we’re responding and where help is needed most.
-
Host a collection drive with your workplace, school, or place of worship.
-
Volunteer individually or as a group to help sort, pack, or distribute food.
Your generosity ensures that no family faces hunger alone. Thank you for standing with us when it matters most.
With gratitude,
Melissa Meyer
President and CEO
