Nearly 3 million Floridians lost access to federal food assistance Saturday, Nov. 1, as the ongoing government shutdown has resulted in the temporary cessation of SNAP funding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Florida has the fourth largest SNAP enrollment in the country, with 2.94 million relying on the program for food security \u2014 that includes veterans, the elderly and more than 1 million children. Nationwide, 41.7 million people rely on SNAP benefits, August 2025 data<\/a> show.<\/p>\n

In and around Orlando, a number of food banks, pantries, nonprofits and other organizations are continuing to provide food and resources to those in need while SNAP benefits are suspended. What follows is a developing list of Orlando-area food banks and pantries working to support their fellow community members.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Several of the following are accepting (and in need of) food donations and\/or volunteers. Check individual websites or contact the location to find more information on which goods are needed most. Orlando organizations accepting donations also include United Against Poverty<\/a> and \u00a0Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
