Where SNAP recipients can find food banks and other resources
Here's where to look for alternative resources for people who receive SNAP benefits, or food stamps, and how you can help recipients.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture planned to freeze payments to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program starting Nov. 1 because it said it could no longer keep funding it due to the shutdown. The program serves about 1 in 8 Americans and is a major piece of the nation's social safety net.
More than 42 million low-income Americans who rely on SNAP benefits, including 16 million children, are impacted.
Food pantries provide about 1 meal to every 9 provided by SNAP, according to Feeding America, a nationwide network of food banks. They get the food they distribute through donations from people, businesses and some farmers. They also get food from U.S. Department of Agriculture programs and sometimes buy food with contributions and grant funding.
