| Dear Wintergarden Community near and far,
 As many of you may have heard, the anticipated shutdown of the SNAP and WIC programs at the end of this month has created deep uncertainty and anxiety for many families in our community. Food insecurity is already a growing concern in Charlotte County, and we know that this change will only increase the need for support. 
Our Food Pantry remains committed to serving our neighbors during this challenging time. As the number of families seeking assistance continues to grow, we are asking you to help in one of the ways you can. Check your pantry to see if you have items that you don’t eat anymore and are able to donate; purchase items to donate to the food pantry; give a financial contribution to help purchase food; contact your representatives to express your concerns; and/or come and volunteer to help out.  |
