With November being a time of thanks, we are grateful to everyone who worked to support their communities through the federal shutdown and resulting delay of November SNAP benefits. Journalism has risen to the occasion and told the stories of our impacted neighbors.
In this month’s Digest, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the hard work happening across the country due to the severe disruptions to SNAP. Thank you to state and local leaders for your incredible work and care: beeckcenter.org/43pyBOJ
