Mr. Trump, Have You No Shame?
On Saturday November 1, many SNAP beneficiaries found that, as predicted, their SNAP benefit accounts had not been replenished. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that “The Trump administration will grant each SNAP recipient 65% of their usual benefits for November, according to guidance released Nov. 5by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.”
“About 80% of households who receive SNAP benefits are households with children, a disabled person, or an older adult” (American Association of People with Disabilities, October 18, 2025).
Here is how WE are stepping up.
1. For those of us who have enough food, we’re donating to local food pantries, including our own Little Blue Pantry across from the Elkhorn High School. You can bring Little Blue Pantry donations to the Elkhorn office during normal hours (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, 11-2 pm, and Wednesdays, 3:30-6:30 pm)
2. You can also volunteer to transport food donations from the Elkhorn office to the Little Blue Pantry. Contact the Elkhorn office to help with refilling our Little Blue Pantry.
Here are links to Walworth County Food Pantries: https://walworth.extension.wisc.edu/files/2020/05/Food-Resources-Walworth-County.pdf
3. For those of us who are financially able, make a monetary donation to a food pantry or to a food bank, like Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin which serves Walworth County, https://feedingamericawi.org/. They can procure more food with your donation than an equal amount that you buy at your local store. Plus, they can time delivery with their needs.
If you are able, consider making a monthly recurring donation.
