What an amazing day at our Third Annual Summer Luncheon in Monterey County! 🎉 Over 160 community members, donors, and industry leaders gathered on June 3rd to celebrate our impact.⁠
⁠
We're serving 5,600+ kids with 20 lbs of fresh produce each week, plus nutrition education! The support was incredible, raising funds for food-insecure families in Monterey County.⁠
⁠
Huge thanks to all our generous sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who joined us! We couldn't do it without you. 💚

🌟This summer, we’re celebrating how fresh food and nutrition education help kids thrive, and we need your help! ⁠
⁠
SNAP-Ed funding is at risk, and without it 163,000 family members could go unserved. That means fewer families will get fresh produce, fewer children will learn essential nutrition education skills, and we’ll lose a critical chance to build lifelong healthy habits in communities that need it most. ⁠

Happy Pride Month from Brighter Bites!⁠

May 30

Without your support, 163,000 family members will go unserved. ⁠
We need your help.⁠
⁠
Funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) is at risk of being eliminated. SNAP-Ed is a key source of funding for our program. Together, this represents over $4.3 million per year, which is 40% of our funding.⁠
⁠
If this proposal moves forward, Brighter Bites would lose the funding resources needed to sustain our current presence.⁠
⁠
That means fewer families will get fresh produce, fewer children will learn essential nutrition skills, and we’ll lose a critical chance to build lifelong healthy habits in communities that need it most.⁠
⁠
Help us build an even more resilient future together.⁠
