"You can't focus on reading with an empty belly.
Take what you need. 🩷 Your neighbor"

We continue to see Little Free Library stewards converting their libraries to share food and other essentials as cut SNAP benefits are delayed. From bookshelf to food shelf, these Little Free Libraries support their communities in every way they can.
Use the Sharing Box tag in our mobile app to locate one of these libraries.

When Josh White, owner of Heretic Coffee Co. in Portland, learned that many families could lose SNAP benefits on November 1, 2025, he couldn’t imagine parents struggling to feed their children. So he made a bold promise: anyone losing assistance could come in for a free breakfast burrito and a cup of coffee no questions asked. Critics warned him it could destroy his business, but Josh told ABC News he was willing to lose everything if it meant children wouldn’t go hungry.

What happened next was extraordinary. People across Portland and eventually across the world began donating to support his mission. In just a short time, over $300,000 was raised, giving Heretic Coffee the ability to serve thousands of free meals.

Josh never set out to be a hero; he simply refused to ignore people in need. But his act of compassion inspired more than 11,000 people to join him, proving that generosity spreads when one person chooses to lead with heart.

On this day, 5 November 1843 an enslaved woman called Carlota Lucumi led a slave uprising in Matanzas, Cuba. Brandishing machetes, Lucumi and her co-conspirators summoned other enslaved people with a kettle drum, then killed the cane plantation enslavers before heading to neighbouring plantations and farms to free other enslaved people. While Lucumi herself was soon executed, the rebellion lasted until the following year, when Spanish colonial authorities succeeded in violently repressing it.

The abolition of slavery in Cuba was eventually achieved in 1886.

**************
En este día, 5 de noviembre de 1843, una mujer esclavizada llamada Carlota Lucumí lideró una rebelión de personas esclavizadas en Matanzas, Cuba.
Empuñando machetes, Lucumí y sus compañeros conspiradores convocaron a otros esclavizados con un tambor y luego mataron a los esclavizadores de la plantación de caña, antes de dirigirse a las plantaciones y fincas vecinas para liberar a más personas esclavizadas.
Aunque Lucumí fue ejecutada poco después, la rebelión continuó hasta el año siguiente, cuando las autoridades coloniales españolas lograron reprimirla violentamente.

La abolición de la esclavitud en Cuba se alcanzó finalmente en 1886.

🇵🇦🇨🇺 El gobierno de Panamá anunció este sábado el despacho de 24 toneladas de insumos humanitarios hacia Cuba, en coordinación con la Federación Internacional de la Cruz Roja y Media Luna Roja (IFRC), el Depósito de Respuesta Humanitaria de Naciones Unidas (UNHRD) y el Ministerio de Gobierno, para apoyar a la población afectada por el huracán Melissa en la región oriental.

Según un comunicado oficial del Centro Logístico Regional de Asistencia Humanitaria (CLRAH), el cargamento incluye agua y purificadores, refugios de emergencia como tiendas de campaña y tarpulines, mallas contra mosquitos, medicamentos, equipos de energía solar y de combustión, kits de higiene y kits de cocina, destinados a mitigar las inundaciones, daños en viviendas y riesgos sanitarios en provincias como Granma.

Esta iniciativa suma a Panamá a los esfuerzos globales de solidaridad con Cuba en medio de la recuperación y en medio de las limitaciones impuestas por el bloqueo estadounidense.
