2nd Chance

SNAP benefits will not be funded in November, leaving many families uncertain about how they’ll put food on the table.

OneGenAway is here and already working to support families and furloughed workers. We’re also in active discussions with state leaders and regional food organizations about launching a coordinated, large-scale food relief initiative to reach even more families across Tennessee and North Alabama.

Share this post to help us reach families in need and those who want to give back. We’re here — and we’ll keep showing up.
