The goal is to fill the void of overrun food banks, to supplement SNAP benefit programs, and to ensure students out of school continue to have reliable access to food. Amp the Cause continually looks to improve signature events and programs, expand into new projects, and work with beneficiary partners to ensure that they are able to fulfill the greatest needs in the community.
