You might have heard that with the government shut down SNAP benefits for November (you might know them as “food stamps” though that’s not technically accurate anymore) are at risk:

Well, a local coffee shop here is stepping up:
Check your local community, people are pulling together!
The coffee shop estimates a breakfast burrito and coffee is $15 so I’m kicking in 10 meals worth, I challenge other folks to do something similar.
Went down and donated today, was a little early and one of their neighbors came up so we were chatting about what they were doing.
“Oh! Will you give them my money too?” (hands me $60 cash) (!!?!)
People are entirely too trusting, or I guess dudes in wheelchairs and cowboy hats are inherently trustworthy…
Anyway, between the two of us we kicked in 15 more meals for the cause.
Update: Coffee shop has raised over $86,000 for their meals. At $15 a piece, they can feed 5,733 people.
