What You Can Do If Your Benefits Are Interrupted

Written By The Color-Coded Chef

Find a local food pantry: feedingamerica.org

  • Seek help from local churches, charities, and organizations like Kelly’s Kitchen. Kelly’s Kitchen also hosts the Food Security Network, which you can use to locate food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens, rural and urban farms, and food justice organizations.

  • If your energy assistance benefits are interrupted, contact your electric, gas, or oil service provider, explain the situation, and ask about available arrangements and assistance. 

  • Other companies, like your bank, internet, and cell service provider, may offer flexibility in bill payments if you reach out to them. 

  • If you currently receive public assistance, Amazon offers a 50% discount on Prime memberships through the Amazon Access Program, which may help reduce food costs. Also, DoorDash has launched an emergency food response, waiving merchant fees for all 300+ Project DASH partner food banks, food pantries, and community organizations nationwide, covering delivery and service fees for about 300,000 orders for SNAP recipients, and donating directly to local food banks.

Thank you, Kelly’s Kitchen, for providing this information.
