Food Stamp Loss Due to Federal Shutdown
Approximately 26,000 people in Schuylkill face the loss of food stamps due to the federal shutdown.
Leslie Barringer, a 64-year-old Pottsville woman, relies on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and a local food pantry. She receives $23 monthly from SNAP, which she uses to buy essentials like bread, margarine, and eggs.
“It helps,”
said Barringer, who had to retire early due to cancer. The program's potential halt due to the federal shutdown poses a significant threat to her and many others who depend on it.
