SNAP Funding Shortfall Impacts Food System
As Congress is gridlocked over SNAP funding, the food industry is stepping in to support families and stabilize supply chains.
An estimated 40 million Americans relying on SNAP are facing a growing crisis due to the funding shortfall.
In response to the crisis, federal judges in Rhode Island and Massachusetts ordered the continuation of SNAP funding.
- 25 states, including Washington DC, filed a lawsuit to use available funds to cover benefits.
- The federal government is struggling to approve $5 billion in emergency nutrition assistance.
The ruling comes after a lawsuit was filed on Oct. 28 to address the funding issue.
Companies like Instacart and retailers are working to fill the gap in the food supply chain.
