November is Gratitude Month and, this November, we’re celebrating the launch of TheNetWorks Foundation the best way we know how: by bringing people together to give thanks and give back.

Join us for an evening of community, connection, and kindness at Simple Motive Brewing. Meet new people, catch up with familiar faces, and help us stock the shelves ahead of Thanksgiving.

Why it matters
In 2025, before the H.R. 1 benefit cuts, more than 70,000 Westchester residents received SNAP benefits. Based on statewide projections, roughly 19,000 could see reduced or lost benefits, and about 7,000 could lose benefits entirely. When federal support shrinks, local lines get longer, and that’s where organizations like Feeding Westchester come in.

We will be supporting Feeding Westchester, helping neighbors put food on the table this holiday season and beyond.
