The federal government has been ordered to issue November SNAP (CalFresh) benefits. This does NOT make CalFresh benefits immediately available, as there are many steps to moving the process forward, and households will likely only receive a portion of their usual amount. Benefits will remain delayed, and no one knows exactly when they will become available. We will continue to respond to increased hunger in our community and thank our caring community for stepping up to help. Read about the latest updates here: foodforpeople.org/federal-shutdown-impacts
