The delay in SNAP benefits starting November 1 caused by the federal government shutdown will force over 5.5 million food-insecure Californians, who rely on this resource for themselves and their families, to turn to alternative food sources like food banks. For every meal a food bank provides, CalFresh provides nine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, California is home to more than 170,000 federal employees and 1.8 million military-connected households, all of whom now live under the uncertainty of how they will pay their bills during this government shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food banks play a vital role as trusted community partners and are essential to the state&#8217;s safety net. When the federal shutdown began, CAFB\u2019s 42 member food banks and their network of more than 5,000 community-based organizations were ready and will continue working diligently to assist their neighbors if the demand for support increases. What this looks like in our communities are drive-through food distributions, school backpack programs, food pantries, soup kitchens and faith-based organizations who come together to serve their neighbors. For assistance finding food, people can visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cafoodbanks.org\/zh\/find-food\/\">www.cafoodbanks.org\/find-food<\/a>, or call 2-1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are grateful for the $80 million in CalFood funding that the state has provided this year for food banks to purchase California-grown and manufactured foods. This is a critical investment in feeding our communities in need and an important investment in local economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We urge those who have resources and time to consider volunteering or\u00a0donating funds, shelf-stable food, and hygiene items to theirlocal food bank.
