To connect donors with individuals and families in need of groceries, and to support food access and community assistance programs.”

This started as a post in the Hyde Park/Oakley moms FB group with someone wanting to be a Grocery Buddy for families losing SNAP due to the government shutdown.

A Grocery Buddy buys a round of groceries for a family in need. Recommend $50/person in the household, but that's a suggestion. Options are to shop and deliver, meet at store, gift cards.

Or donate to Grocery Buddies and remain anonymous.

We matched 36 people our first day and are a 501(c)(3)

Since the governmentshutdown, we began a Senior Program which provides $100 of emergency grocery support to seniors on a fixed income.

To become a Buddy, email andy@grocery-buddies.org. If you need a buddy, grocerybuddieshp@gmail.com ND

Grocery Buddies provides emergency groceries to families in need
