Minnesota's food shelves are set to get a funding boost amid surging demand stemming from the ongoing government shutdown.

If the continuing resolution or any other funding measures are not passed, funding for SNAP — Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps as it's commonly called — will run out on Nov. 1.

Gov. Walz announced state funding Monday to help Minnesotans who receive monthly Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

Federal officials have said funding for the program, which provides food benefits to low-income families, will run out come November unless a deal to reopen the government is reached. In Minnesota, this will mean funding drying up to provide SNAP benefits to 440,000 recipients.

SNAP and MFIP food benefits halted due to federal shutdown; Ramsey County advises beneficiaries to use what they have and keep contact info updated.

Minnesota food banks face critical shortages as demand soars and SNAP funding stalls, leaving thousands at risk of hunger amid rising costs and dwindling donations. Local leaders urge urgent community support.

SNAP food benefits are set to run out on Friday if the government shutdown continues, and it would impact about half a million Nevadans.
