Josh Shapiro to announce support for Pa. food banks as SNAP funding set to lapse"},"content":{"rendered":"

A day before funding for SNAP is set to lapse<\/a>\u00a0due to the government shutdown, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is planning an announcement to “support Pennsylvania’s charitable food network,” his office said in a news release.<\/p>\n

While we’re still working to find out what exactly the governor will announce, we know he will be speaking at a warehouse operated by Philabundance, one of the state’s largest food banks.<\/p>\n

CBS News Philadelphia will livestream Shapiro’s announcement in the player above at 2 p.m. ET. Check back here for updates on his announcement.<\/p>\n

Representatives from Feeding PA and Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding are also set to attend.<\/p>\n

The announcement will come as Pennsylvania and 24 other states await a Massachusetts judge’s ruling on a federal lawsuit seeking to compel the Trump administration to keep SNAP afloat<\/a> through the use of contingency funds.<\/p>\n

The USDA has said that it legally can’t use those funds, and that they’re meant for emergencies like natural disasters.<\/p>\n

A judge has signaled she may side with the states, saying, “It’s hard for me to understand how this isn’t an emergency.”<\/p>\n

In preparation for SNAP recipients needing food if their EBT cards are not filled Nov. 1, New Jersey is speeding up grant funding to food banks<\/a>. In Delaware, Gov. Matt Meyer declared a state of emergency<\/a>, allowing state funding to move to SNAP recipients on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n
