Feed Kids in our Community!
No child should have to worry about their next meal.
Hi there, friends! It’s me, Potter the Otter, and I need your help.
Right now, families all across Santa Clara County are facing something tough. Because of the federal government shutdown, SNAP (CalFresh) benefits are pausing on November 1. That means thousands of local families and their kids may not have enough to eat. In fact, more than 33,000 kids depend on SNAP!
But together, we can make sure every child in our community stays fed, healthy, and happy. Here are some restaurants who have taken the Potter Pledge to give free meals to kid in our community!
