Written By Nathan Duke

Brown Mamas and Healthy Start are launching a new initiative that will help to connect mothers and community members in need of food assistance with groceries.

The two organizations are starting The Bridge Project in the wake of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) restrictions tightening and amid SNAP benefits not being paid out during the ongoing federal government shutdown.

The project will be a grocery transportation network rooted in mutual aid to connect mothers and community members who need food assistance with others who can pick up, deliver, or help to distribute groceries across local neighborhoods.

Organizations that are interested in working as partners should email Brown Mamas at hello@brownmamas.com. 

Mothers in need of help with groceries, volunteer drivers, those with groceries to share, or community organizations can sign up online to get or give help.
