Free $50 for Essential Goods & Groceries for SNAP Recipients - Expensify

During this unprecedented time, we realize that not everyone has the resources to “shelter in place” - especially the millions of people in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Living paycheck to paycheck is hard when millions of businesses around the nation are closing down indefinitely, and hourly workers (including those dependent upon tips) are the hardest hit. In particular, families with kids whose primary meals happen at school are especially vulnerable when those schools shut down.
With this in mind, Expensify.org will temporarily redirect all of its charitable funds to Expensify.org/hunger. With its ability to reimburse volunteers directly in real-time, Expensify.org is uniquely positioned to help families in need immediately.

Where can we go for options of families to get that $50 food assist? Website looks like requesting donations and/or volunteer opportunities.
