Food drive for local food banks as SNAP funding set to lapse

Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) speaks at a food drive hosted by a coalition of organizations in front of the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C., U.S., on October 30, 2025. Unless the government shutdown ends immediately, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will lapse, and furloughed federal workers will not receive paychecks, leaving millions of Americans without enough food.
