Donations are still needed for food assistance.

Though the government will be paying out 50% of November benefits, these will most likely not get to people's pockets for a couple of weeks; 80% of SNAP recipients use 100% of their benefits in those first couple of weeks. Additionally, the reduction is not a flat cut and many households will receive $0.

• FOOD ASSISTANCE: Your donation to the CERF: SNAP Relief Fund will provide immediate support to food access providers in SW Colorado including Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma, and San Juan counties and the Ute Mtn Ute and Southern Ute Indian Tribes. Funds will be distributed quickly and equitably with oversight by county-level advisory groups made up of experts on the ground, the Community Foundation Serving SW Colorado, and the Good Food Collective.

• IMMIGRATION FUND: Please donate any amount ASAP so that the Immigration group (Apoyo) can respond with up to $1000 in assistance for families preparing for possible removal or impacted by the loss of a family member. DONATE
