Join Lamp in stopping cuts to the Emergency Food and Shelter Program
The Emergency Food and Shelter Program allows Lamp to serve more than 500 healthy snacks and meals each day at its transitional housing locations, creating a sense of home and improving the health of chronically homeless men and women. In the last year, this program has also provided rental assistance that helped Lamp keep formerly homeless people living with disabilities in permanent supportive housing, where they have been able to reclaim and transform their lives.
Nationwide, the Emergency Food and Shelter Program provides supplemental support to more than 12,000 nonprofit and public food banks, feeding programs, and homelessness prevention organizations. But, despite an increase in need for such services, the program is at risk of being cut by as much as 50 percent.
