The government shutdown is now entering its fourth week…
As of November 1st, nearly 41.7 million SNAP participants and their families are at risk of a disruption in their benefits, including 827,000 New Jersey residents, or about 9% of our state’s population. Many of these households include someone who is elderly or disabled and already struggles to put food on the table.
At ACI’s CommUnity Market, we currently serve over 200 individuals with disabilities and their families monthly. We’re struggling to meet the growing need and anticipate it will only get worse; our shelves are nearly bare.
On behalf of The Alliance Center for Independence, I am reaching out to humbly request your support and generous contribution towards our cause. We believe that your commitment to making a positive impact aligns perfectly with our mission and we kindly request your consideration in supporting our efforts.
As you know ACI, is a non-profit Center for Independent Living serving Middlesex, Somerset and Union counties. We work with all disabilities and ages throughout the community providing different skills so that those individuals can become and live as independently as possible.
We are writing to request a monetary donation. Your contribution will directly impact our ability to refurbish a bus so that we can make it a mobile center for those disabled individuals in underserved communities so to offer resources and assistance. In addition, this bus will allow our consumers and staff to be afforded the opportunity to visit different events throughout the State of New Jersey.
