A food drive in Longview, Texas, on Nov. 7 will address rising food insecurity from potential SNAP disruptions.

A food drive will be held on November 7 in Longview, Texas, to combat rising food insecurity amid concerns over disrupted SNAP benefits due to a federal shutdown. Organizers are collecting non-perishable foods, hygiene products, baby supplies, and household essentials, with donations accepted in person or online. The event is separate from the city’s Thanksgiving drive, and contributions will support local pantries serving communities with high poverty and SNAP usage rates.
