Support for Food Banks Amidst SNAP Distribution Halt
The Trump Administration has announced the cessation of SNAP distributions for November, affecting the entire country. This move is described as "a crisis, an emergency, a deliberate starvation disaster."
Approximately 12.5% of Mainers, totaling 170,000 individuals, will be impacted, with around 5,000 people affected in Knox County. The most vulnerable populations, including children, elders, and people with disabilities, will be particularly harmed.
This is a crisis, an emergency, a deliberate starvation disaster.
To mitigate this issue, donations to food banks like AIO Food Pantry are encouraged. Monetary donations are ideal, as they enable food pantries to procure better deals on food. However, food donations are also welcome. AIO has expanded its services to include food delivery, making it more accessible and comprehensive.
