USA TODAY: Will SNAP benefits be sent in November? ‘Inflection point’ is near, USDA says
George Matysik, executive director of Share Food Program, a Philadelphia food bank, told USA TODAY that with the lapse in SNAP benefit funding, his organization is ramping up donations and buying additional food.
However, Matysik emphasized that food banks were already operating under federal funding cuts earlier this year before the government shutdown.
“The amount of food that SNAP provides has been estimated to be nine times larger than the entire food bank network combined, so to think that we at food banks alone can be the sole resource to pick up this slack for government’s failure in this moment, it’s very unreasonable,” Matysik said.
