As the government shutdown continues, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) remains a vital resource for millions of families. While some services may experience temporary changes, here’s what you need to know about current SNAP operations and where to find additional support if needed.

SNAP Benefits are ending November 1, due to the government shutdown. Charlotte Mecklenburg Food Policy Council is partnering with Mecklenburg County Government to provide financial assistance to SNAP users at farmers' markets in November.

Participating markets are:

🥔 Uptown Farmers Market - Saturdays 8am-1230pm
