People who rely on the federal food assistance program might not receive their benefits for the month of November because of the ongoing government shutdown.
Recipients of SNAP food assistance benefits across the country face a looming deadline: Come Nov. 1, their cards may not get refilled because of the government shutdown in Washington.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which serves nearly 42 million people each month, allocates money to states on a monthly basis. Benefits were largely uninterrupted over the past three weeks because funding for October was allocated to states before the shutdown began on Oct. 1.
But in a letter to SNAP state agency and regional directors on Oct. 10, the Department of Agriculture warned that there would not be enough funding to pay full SNAP benefits — also known as food stamps — in November if the shutdown persists.
Yeah the thing is churches don’t do it as Charity they do it for recruitment
Exactly, churches are by and large pyramid schemes that don’t pay taxes.
They ain’t knocking on your door on a weekend afternoon because they actually care about your soul. They want to rise in ranks and get the next tier of benefits.
(Yes there are some good churches and actual spiritual leaders who care about community and charity out there but they are dwarfed by the commercial entities bedecked in crosses and bible merch.)
