SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — With SNAP benefits potentially running out Saturday due to the government shutdown, our California food banks are reporting an urgent demand for meals.
Friday, two federal judges ordered the Trump White House to continue SNAP funding using contingency funds during the government shutdown. But appeals are expected.
This disaster-level situation is expected to only intensify hunger statewide, where one in seven Californians already struggle to feed themselves daily.
But, together, we can make a difference for our neighbors in need.
ABC7 News Bay Area is teaming up with our sister ABC stations to support our food banks across Southern California, San Francisco and the Bay Area, Fresno and Central Valley.
You can help by making a donation of any amount to the Feeding America food bank near you.
Every dollar you donate will provide up to four meals, and your donation stays in your community.
We are highlighting several Bay Area charities and food banks that are going above and beyond for their communities — you’ll find a list of them below:
