What started as one Facebook post in an East Nashville neighborhood group has now grown into a nationwide effort to help families struggling with food costs, as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) becomes uncertain due to the lapse in government funding. East Nashville resident Brooke Tansley says she was juggling a temporary job, a part-time job and two kids when she realized she wasn’t alone in feeling stretched thin and decided to take action. She launched a “SNAP grocery buddy” post, asking neighbors receiving SNAP benefits to comment if they needed help and inviting others to step in and pair up with them. “I thought, maybe I can help other people organize,” Tansley told FOX 17 News. “You don’t even know if anybody would do it and immediately people were doing it.” Within days, more than 100 families in the East Nashville group connected. Now, Tansley says she's receiving messages from across the country from Maryland to Wisconsin to California with people wanting to copy the model in their own communities. The volunteer-based “buddy” system varies: Some pairs shop together, others share lists or gift cards. Tansley says the goal is simple - make sure no family goes hungry while SNAP recipients face uncertainty. “Nobody wants to see their neighbors go hungry,” she said. “Sometimes people just need someone to show them how to help.” Tansley created a copy-and-paste script on her Facebook page so others can easily launch the program in their own areas. You can also grab it here: "This is the SNAP Grocery Buddy post! 1. If your SNAP is going to run out Nov. 1 and you need help with groceries, comment below. 2. If you are able to buddy up with someone by getting them groceries or gift cards, claim your buddy by replying to their comment AND send them a DM to connect about food and logistics. Make a friend and be the incredible community we are! Please keep general convo elsewhere so this post can stay neat and focused on pairing folks up for help!" She hopes the effort offers relief but says it also highlights the scale of food insecurity and the importance of federal nutrition programs. “No individual can provide for 42 million people,” she said. “This shows why SNAP matters.” Tansley and volunteers from her church plan to deliver groceries to two local families this weekend.
