CORRECTION: The USDA will begin paying out November SNAP benefits in full!

SNAP recipients whose benefits have been delayed due to the shutdown may see their benefits as early as November 8th, but there will likely be some delay before all benefits are processed.

We're happy to deliver some much needed good news, and we will continue to update you all around major developments to SNAP. For more information around SNAP during the government shutdown, please visit our government shutdown page: https://www.foodbankwma.org/government-shutdown/

In response to the ongoing government shutdown, we’ve added new Mobile Food Bank dates in November. We’ve also created a single calendar showing every location, date, and time for the month in all four counties in Western Massachusetts. (New dates are marked with asterisks.) We’ve seen incredible support online as people share our Mobile Food Bank distribution schedule and we thank you! 💚

We encourage you to share this post as it might help someone you know. And a huge thank you to our Mobile Food Bank volunteers whose extra time and effort made these additional dates possible!

Remember: everyone is welcome to visit a Mobile Food Bank and get free groceries regardless of other services you might receive. We have an automated phone line to check if a Mobile Food Bank or Brown Bag is canceled due to weather, the number is: (413)-419-0079.
