Catholic Charities USA has launched an emergency fundraising effort to support those about to lose access to federal food assistance in the coming days.
Due to the ongoing government shutdown, funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will lapse on Nov. 1, meaning millions of Americans will no longer have access to food assistance.
“For low-income families and individuals who rely on SNAP and WIC to put food on their tables, this could be a catastrophic moment,” Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) President and CEO Kerry Alys Robinson said in an Oct. 30 press releaseannouncing the emergency effort. “The Catholic Charities network stands ready to come to the aid of our vulnerable brothers and sisters during this time of dire need.”
Contributions made to CCUSA’s designated donation portal will go directly toward helping “provide meals for those most at risk.” The group will use the donated funds to buy and ship food to its agencies across the country that have food pantries, soup kitchens, and food delivery programs, the release stated.
