As the government shutdown persists, food stamp funding through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is set to run out, leaving many low-income Americans to choose between paying rent and buying food. The USDA has announced no benefits will be issued starting November 1, threatening the financial stability of those reliant on this assistance. Advocates are urging the use of contingency funds to continue support amidst rising food prices and increased demand at food banks.
