With the ongoing government shutdown and lapse of SNAP benefits being paid out, people throughout the nation and the Western Pennsylvania region are facing food insecurity.
WPXI has created a list of food pantries and resources that may help community members in need.
If there’s a resource that should be added to this list, let the newsroom know by emailing desk@wpxi.com
