St. Louis Food Pantries Struggle with SNAP Benefits Suspension
The ongoing government shutdown has led to a suspension of SNAP benefits, affecting over 40 million Americans, including 650,000 Missourians and 150,000 St. Louis residents.
Local food pantries and nonprofits are working to fill the gap, but leaders warn that the situation is dire if funding is not restored soon.
We're trying to sign up and provide food to as many people as possible, but we're bursting at the seams right now.
According to Patrick McKelvey, executive director of Gateway Food Pantry, the task is daunting, and the need for support is urgent.
The shutdown has left many without access to food resources, and the community is in need of a solution to address this crisis.
