I volunteer at a church kitchen in Salt Lake City, Utah. Normally our community meals bridge the gap of limited government benefits. After the shutdown delayed SNAP, more people came seeking aid. But our donations dropped as the economy tightened. Last week we were notified: procurement budget cut by 20%. I watched the sacks of rice in the pot shrink and feared: if we can't hold on, the next meal might be by appointment. #WhenSNAPStops #SNAPLife #SNAPInterrupted
