flag A U.S. government shutdown risks freezing SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans starting November 1, worsening food insecurity.

flag A U.S. government shutdown has led to a potential freeze in SNAP benefits starting November 1, affecting about 42 million Americans and risking poverty for nearly 3 million low-income people. flag With federal funding depleted, food banks and pantries—already strained by inflation and prior aid cuts—are bracing for increased demand. flag Hunger relief groups urge the public to donate cash for greater flexibility in purchasing needed items, including culturally appropriate and special diet foods, and to volunteer for sorting and delivery. flag Some pantries still accept nonperishable goods and personal care items. flag Resources to find local aid, volunteer opportunities, and mutual aid networks are available through websites like FindHelp.org and Feeding America.
