Shutdown Threatens to Deepen Food Crisis in Sacramento
The continuing government shutdown will halt SNAP (CalFresh) benefits for over 270,000 Sacramento county residents who rely on the monthly aid to buy food.
Local officials warn of a growing food crisis that could worsen poverty, strain the local economy, and push more residents toward homelessness, with no timeline for when the shutdown will end.
Beginning Nov. 1, Sacramento County residents who rely on CalFresh, California’s version of the federal SNAP program, will stop receiving benefits indefinitely as the government shutdown halts funding.
Dennis McGlothen is one of 267,000 people who may not receive their monthly SNAP benefits due to the government shutdown.
