“When our neighbors need us, we snap back. Together.”

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

When emergency resources are reduced or delayed, the effects are immediate and wide-reaching. Families struggle with food access. Homes grow colder as fuel assistance dwindles. Nonprofits face overwhelming backlogs as they work to reprocess applications and stretch every remaining dollar.

SNAPback Seacoast brings together 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 meet needs quickly and with dignity.

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 local nonprofit process hundreds of waiting applications. Every act of service helps our community snap back stronger.

And we’re doing this now because our community fabric has felt frayed- not from a lack of care, but from the tension and division that have left too many people feeling helpless or apart. SNAPback Seacoast is our moment to come together again - for good, for our neighbors, for our community. Our efforts will culminate in celebration on Sunday December 7th at Black Rock Social Club. From there we will return to our lives, supporting each non profit from the sidelines, ready to mobilize should the need arise once more.

Together, we can remind ourselves who we are: a region that shows up, steps in, and takes care of one another when it matters most.
