Volunteer Spotlight: Cleveland Clinic ER Department! 🔦

This group took the time out of their busy schedule to serve lunch to those we support at the Men's Shelter. It only makes sense that these crucial medical workers would give back in their free time, and we all could not be more grateful for it.

If you want to get involved yourself, check out the volunteer page on our website!

Join LMM and our community partners to learn about the recent updates to SNAP benefits!

Last year, Congress passed H.R. 1(“One Big Beautiful Bill Act”), which made significant changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and as Ohio’s leader in SNAP recipients, Cuyahoga County residents are no strangers to hunger, meaning these changes will be deeply felt in our community.

We are hosting an urgent webinar to speak about the issue on Wednesday, June 24, from 5:30-7:00 PM for SNAPshot: What the Community Needs to Know, which will break down what these changes mean for Cuyahoga County residents who rely on SNAP to put food on the table.

Featured Speakers include:

Kevin Gowan, Director, Cuyahoga Job and Family Services
Jessica Morgan, Chief Programs Officer, Greater Cleveland Food Bank
Moderated by Heather Paramore, Community Engagement Coordinator, LMM
