Second Harvest Food Bank officials are worried about the people they serve if there is a government shutdown. Officials with the food bank said most of the people they serve rely on SNAP or other federal food aid.

“When we’re looking at this potential government shutdown, we’re seeing it from the eyes of our clients and neighbors that receive our sources,” Madison Bowers with Second Harvest said.

Bowers said they won’t be impacted as much because they take very little from the federal government. Most of the money they get comes from donations and sponsorships.

Bowers also said they prepare months in advance in case an emergency happens. Bowers said it’s possible more people could need the food bank’s help during a shutdown, but they’ve been helping more people in need each year since the pandemic.
