Bay Area Food Banks Mobilize Amid Government Shutdown
Bay Area food banks and community nonprofits are mobilizing to help thousands of people who could lose their federal food assistance benefits on November 1, if the government shutdown continues.
Families are scared.
Nearly 150 families in Santa Rosa attended a weekly distribution of fresh produce, dairy products, and canned goods, organized by the Redwood Empire Food Bank.
- Food banks are preparing to help those who may lose SNAP benefits.
- The Trump administration has posted notice that no federal food aid will go out on November 1.
It's a godsend.
According to Wanda Harris, the food she receives is a lifeline, but she's worried her federal SNAP or CalFresh benefits won't be paid next month.
Harris notes that while she can go without a few meals, there are families with children who cannot.
