America’s mayors are warning that the lapse in SNAP food benefits is already hitting home.
Local leaders describe mounting strain on families—and issue an urgent call for Washington to restore food assistance funding before the damage deepens: https://t.co/gH1mDQiOKp
Today marks the first time in the history of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that grocery benefits are not going out to the millions of Americans who use them to buy food. This comes as the government shutdown enters its second month, and the USDA refuses to tap a $5-6 billion contingency fund or transfer additional resources to continue paying benefits as required by law.
Mayors know firsthand how vital SNAP benefits are to keeping their communities fed—and the hardships their residents will face if those benefits are suspended.

Essential SNAP food assistance will stop in two days unless Washington acts — leaving 42 million American families struggling to put food on the table — and mayors nationwide are sounding the alarm.
No child should go hungry just because school is out.
