We are raising money for SNAP!
Please consider a donation of one of more grocery cards valued at $20 each, every donation goes to the fund and is used to purchase a grocery card.
Share this program your friends!
Donate to the fund through Wake UP Sonoma HERE and grocery cards will be purchased from your donation.
Purchase one of more grocery cards valued at $20 each and drop them off at Refill Madness
Volunteer to help deliver grocery cards to distribution sites (email: wakeupsonoma@gmail.com to inquire)
Three ways you can support SNAP benefits:
OPTION 1
Donate Directly to WakeUp Sonoma and have a grocery card purchased
When you donate to WakeUp Sonoma, ensure that you make a note in your transaction that you want the funds to go to “SNAP” so that we can purchase the grocery card.
OPTION 2
Purchase and Drop off grocery cards
Buy ONLY local grocery store cards- cards that can just be used to shop at that grocery store. Preferred stores are Lucky and Safeway. Sonoma Market, and Whole Foods ok too.
*Please no AMEX or VISA gift cards
Each card must be $20. For example, if you can donate $200, buy ten $20 grocery cards (not one $200 card).
Grocery cards donated through this program that go to La Luz will be incorporated into their SNAP (EBT) emergency relief program while supplies are available. La Luz may ask for proof of EBT status.
