Here in St. Louis, thousands of families have now lost access to SNAP benefits that put food on the table to feed their families. Our neighbors are paying the price for government dysfunction. But when crisis hits, St. Louis rises — because we are built different.
On Thursday, November 13, from 10 AM to 1 PM, Cori Bush will join West Side Missionary Baptist Church Food Pantry to distribute food and essentials alongside community volunteers.
This event is about more than food — it’s about care, resilience, and showing up for one another. Because when the system fails to protect our communities, we protect each other.
