Hi Friend,

Due to the reduction in SNAP benefits, many families will face challenges in accessing food. I want to help by sharing resources with those in need. With these unprecedented times, I think we as Americans should remember that America is about community and showing up for one another, lifting each other up, and refusing to let our neighbors go without. Compassion and unity are what define us, not political divides or privilege. With that said, if you personally have any additional resources, please contact me so I can include them on this sheet! You can reach me at [email protected]. Additionally, if you or someone you know needs any services such as: resume updates, LinkedIn optimization, interview prep, or networking basics, application tips and tricksfeel free to schedule a chat with me here www.nextlevelcareermentors.com and connect with me on My LinkedIn Profile

Cheers!

Chelsea Davis
