Today, we honor the fundamental truth that food is a human right, not a commodity. Grace Episcopal Church Food Pantry has served our community for decades, providing direct material support when government systems fail our neighbors. This isn't charity, it's community self-defense against a system that creates artificial scarcity while billionaires hoard wealth.

When benefit cuts leave families hungry, when wages can't cover rent AND groceries, when our neighbors face impossible choices between medicine and meals, we step up as community.

Today's Action:

• Donate to Grace Episcopal Church Food Pantry through Traverse Indivisible's fund drive

• Give at https://traverseindivisible.org or click here, where 100% goes directly to the pantry through December 16

• Share this opportunity with others who understand food justice

This fund drive exists because our community refuses to accept hunger as inevitable. It represents resistance against systems that prioritize profit over people's basic needs.

Your grief for families choosing between rent and groceries is connected to every community's struggle against manufactured scarcity and wealth hoarding. By contributing, you join a movement that builds material solidarity and understands that mutual aid keeps us all alive.
