Nonprofit serves hot meals in Granite Falls to those impacted by SNAP delays

EVERETT — Around 40 people created a winding line near the picnic tables at the IGA just before 3 p.m. Monday in Granite Falls. At the front, volunteers handed out hot meals, pet food and winter coats.

Within 15 minutes, the line was cleared, the last meal was distributed and the tables were empty.

When the government shut down on Oct. 1, Penelope Protheroe, president of the nonprofit Angel Resource Connection, knew many people in the community would be facing food insecurity.

“Right away, we said hungry people, hungry pets,” Protheroe said.
