Funding for federal food assistance is set to expire on November 1. There are more than 40 million Americans, including many of our members, who benefit from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). We recognize that the days ahead may be difficult, and encourage you to reach out to your local food bank, which you can find by visiting FeedingAmerica.org and entering your zip code.

We are monitoring the situation closely and urge lawmakers to come together to reopen the government.
