Can I fast for SNAP without fasting?
If you are not able to fast for medical or other reasons, we still invite you to sign the Fast for SNAP pledge. This more people who publicly add their names at FastforSNAP.com, the greater the chance that our fast will catch the attention of our leaders in DC and remind them of their obligation to take bipartisan action to reopen the government.
You can donate to Mazon, Feeding American West Michigan, or your local food pantry. You can donate to Ahavas Israel’s Project Isaiah fund, an annual collection beginning on Yom Kippur in response to the reading from Isaiah reminding us that fasting without also feeding the hungry is an empty fast. I have sent money from this fund and my discretionary fund both to an organization supporting hunger relief and to specific individuals in the Jewish community who are in need.
Please join my and sign up at FastforSNAP.com.
