Already strained by federal funding cuts earlier in the year and a surge in demand from furloughed federal workers, food banks face a fresh wave of need as SNAP benefits end Saturday.

More than a dozen large and small charitable nonprofits told CNN they have exceeded their ability to help and warned that the level of support they can provide will fall far short.

Local food banks, pantries, and feeding programs are doing what they can to keep food flowing to low-income households as they prepare for the loss of federal food assistance as soon as this weekend.

SNAP benefits will lapse on Saturday amid the ongoing government shutdown. Gov. JB Pritzker ordered $20 million for food banks to help, as food pantries are already seeing increasing demand.

People continue to line up at food banks across the nation despite looming concerns over federal funding for SNAP.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order direct $20 million toward food banks to mitigate the impact of the anticipated stoppage of federal funding for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits on Nov. 1 due to the government shutdown.

The state will grant $10 million to food banks across North Carolina, Gov. Josh Stein announced Tuesday. They’re joined by AmeriHealth Caritas, which will give $5 million, the David & Nicole Tepper Foundation, which will accelerate $2.5 million from a previously announced $10 million gift, and other donors.
