DuPage County Prepares SNAP Response

More than 67,000 DuPage residents impacted by halt in federal food program

 

Wheaton – DuPage County is taking steps to assist residents in response to the planned halt in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding for 42 million Americans during the federal government shutdown. Beginning on Nov. 1, more than 67,000 DuPage County residents who rely on SNAP to buy groceries could be affected.

 

“We want DuPage residents to know we have staff standing by 24/7 to help people in need during these uncertain times,” said County Board Chair Deborah Conroy. “People can dial 211 or visit 211DuPage.gov to locate food pantries and programs in their community. In addition to directing residents to food pantries, 211 staff can also help residents who need assistance paying rent or their energy bills. Those wishing to donate or volunteer at a food pantry can contact Giving DuPage (www.givingdupage.org) to get connected to a local organization.”
