Pop-up food drives expand nationwide amid fears of SNAP cuts during a potential government shutdown.

Pop-up food drives, including one in Washington, D.C., are expanding nationwide amid concerns over potential SNAP benefit disruptions during a federal government shutdown. A Boston federal judge has questioned the Trump administration’s claim that SNAP could be suspended, while several states push for emergency funding to maintain food assistance. These temporary efforts aim to prevent hunger among vulnerable populations as anxiety grows over the stability of nutrition support during federal inaction.
