The government shutdown appears likely to continue into the week leading up to Nov. 1. Here's why that's a key date.

The Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York was facing soaring demand before the shutdown. Cuts to food stamps could push it to the limit.

With the federal government shutdown entering its 24th day on Friday, families who get food assistance are worried about how they'll put food on the table if the shutdown continues.

Ohio food banks say they cannot make up the $263 million monthly shortfall if federal nutrition assistance programs go unfunded in November. The government shutdown has jeopardized SNAP benefits for more than 1 million Ohioans for next month.

The governor said a third of the residents expected to lose SNAP benefits Nov. 1 are children, and a quarter are seniors.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin declares state of emergency as SNAP benefits face November 1 cutoff due to federal government shutdown affecting 850,000 residents.

Gov. Bill Lee says he "shares frustration" of poor families that won't see federal SNAP benefits but won't use state funds to keep food on their tables.

Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley introduced a bill Wednesday that would reinstate funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program ( SNAP) as the government shutdown stretches into its third week.
