I believe that everyone deserves food on the table and community support!

MoHo Somerville is fundraising to help Americans missing their snap benefits. We are also hosting a [whisky tasting open to community members](https://https://partiful.com/events/zsagSYc9kITT1AOklAnM/) who donate.

Join us for a cozy **blind whisky tasting night** where good spirits meet a good cause.

As millions of Americans miss their monthly SNAP (food stamp) benefits due to the government shutdown, families across the country are struggling to put food on the table. Together, we can help fill that gap — one glass at a time.

At this intimate tasting, we’ll sample a curated flight of whiskies from around the world — blind! — and try to guess which is which. You’ll learn to notice subtle flavors and aromas while sharing warmth, reflection, and community.

🎯 **All proceeds and donations** go directly to **GiveDirectly + Propel’s emergency SNAP fund**, which sends **$50 cash payments straight to households with children** who have suddenly lost their benefits. See more information here: https://www.givedirectly.org/snapgap/

Your tasting ticket or donation helps ensure families don’t have to skip meals while waiting for aid.

**Even if you can’t attend, you can still donate — every dollar helps families buy groceries right now.**

**Suggested Donation:** $18–$36 per person (or more if you’d like to sponsor extra families)

**Date:** Thursday, November 13th, 7:30pm

**Location:** Moishe House Somerville

**Sign up here**: https://partiful.com/events/zsagSYc9kITT1AOklAnM/

MoHo Somerville Fundraiser for SNAP Families

Delivering unconditional cash directly to the world's poorest households via secure mobile transfers. 

Since 2009, GiveDirectly has delivered more than $580 million in unconditional cash transfers to families in need. These one-time cash transfers allow recipients to invest in what they need most and have been shown to improve their earnings, children’s school attendance, health, nutrition, and mental well-being.
 
GiveDirectly uses government data to target villages where most or all residents are living in extreme poverty, defined by the World Bank as earning under $2.15/day. In-country GiveDirectly staff enroll one member of each household in the entire village to receive a one-time transfer of about $1,000 USD sent in two installments using mobile money. Recipients can then withdraw the mobile funds as cash with local agents and use the funds to invest in what they need – whether it’s on starting a business, education, making their home safer/sturdier, healthcare, or livestock.
 
GiveDirectly uses rigorous experimental research (randomized controlled trials) to measure the impact of their unconditional cash programs and answer public policy questions, generating evidence on key design and implementation questions across varied contexts. You can find over 300 studies on the positive impacts of cash transfers in GiveDirectly’s Cash Research Explorer.
