SNAPback Seacoast is a rapid-response coalition created to meet the urgent needs emerging across our region as federal and state funding cuts, like those to SNAP and other essential assistance programs, begin to ripple through our community.

When emergency resources are reduced or delayed, the impact is immediate and far-reaching. Families struggle to access food. Homes grow colder as fuel assistance dwindles. Nonprofits face mounting backlogs as they stretch every remaining dollar to meet rising needs.

SNAPback Seacoast unites nonprofits, city and state officials, local businesses, schools, and faith communities to respond as one; identifying critical gaps, collecting emergency supplies, and mobilizing volunteers to act quickly and compassionately.

That might mean delivering food to a family facing a sudden gap, donating fuel cards to keep homes warm, or lending administrative hours to help a nonprofit process hundreds of waiting applications. Every act of service helps our community snap back stronger.

We’re doing this now because our community fabric has felt frayed, not from a lack of care, but from the tension and uncertainty that have left too many feeling helpless or apart. SNAPback Seacoast is our moment to come together again; for good, for our neighbors, for our community.
