When you have more than you need, build a longer table, not a higher wall. Starting Nov. 1, SNAP (CalFresh) benefits will pause due to the federal shutdown - leaving many Marin families, especially women and children, struggling to afford groceries.  At Moonstone Skincare, we believe abundance is meant to be shared. That's why we've launched Building a Longer Table, a community matching campaign to help feed our neighbors in need. Here's how it works: You donate directly to SF-Marin Food Bank or North Marin Community Services We match your donation dollar for dollar, up to $3,000 total. We send funds out weekly so help reaches families immediately. The campaign will continue until the federal shutdown ends or we've matched the full $3,000 ($6,000 to feed local families!). Bring in, or email your donation receipt to [email protected], and we'll add your name to our Longer Table Gratitude Wall - a growing in-studio display of generosity and hope. Because no one should ever have to wonder where their next meal will come from.
