When SNAP benefits were slashed, The Literary in Champaign stepped up in a huge way—transforming community donations into nearly 40,000 meals for neighbors facing food insecurity. Owner Jenny Shima expected a small impact, but the outpouring of generosity blew her away, with $12,000 left over going straight to the Eastern Illinois Foodbank. It’s amazing to see how quickly a local business and its customers can rally to fill a critical gap. How do you think other businesses or groups could help when times get tough? #Safety #Champaign #FoodInsecurity
