SNAP Funding Shortfall: Food Industry Steps In
As Congress remains gridlocked over SNAP funding, the food industry, including Instacart and grocery chains, is taking action to support families and stabilize supply chains.
An estimated 40 million Americans relying on SNAP face a growing crisis due to the funding shortfall. In response, federal judges in Rhode Island and Massachusetts have ordered the continuation of SNAP funding.
- 25 states, including Washington DC, filed a lawsuit to use available funds to cover benefits.
- The federal government is struggling to approve $5 billion in emergency nutrition assistance, barely half of what's needed to keep the program running through November.
The ruling comes after a lawsuit was filed on Oct. 28 to use any available funds to cover benefits.
The food supply chain is feeling the effects of the funding shortfall, with CPG brands, retailers, and online platforms working to fill the gap.
