Concern grows over funding for SNAP benefits in NC

The government shutdown is forcing SNAP benefits out of the hands of millions of Americans throughout the country beginning Nov. 1. Charlotte-area nonprofits have been trying to pick up the slack, but the need is too high for local organizations or the community. “We are certainly gearing up and ordering as much extra food as humanly possible," Nourish Up CEO Tina Postel said. "We have put out a call to our donors, to our volunteers to please give to us generously this holiday season. But there’s no way that — even with an amazing response from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community — that we will be able to feed everybody that SNAP benefits typically feeds."
