With the ongoing government shutdown creating uncertainty for some local families โ and SNAP benefits temporarily on hold โ many in our community are feeling the pinch this season. If you or someone you know could use a little extra support, weโve rounded up local food resources and community pantries across Morris County and the Somerset Hills.
And if youโre in a position to give, weโve also included food drives, coat drives, and simple ways to spread kindness this holiday season.
Because when we come together as neighbors, no one has to go without. โค๏ธ
