An alert on the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano websiteThe delays will impact real people like Christina, who chose not to provide her last name, of Fairfield.
Christina, a recipient of CalFresh benefits in Fairfield, Calif.
"It changed my life. It takes a lot of burden off me, so it's not so stressful," Christina said. "Because I'm a diabetic and it's good to get veggies and fresh fruits and healthy foods, not processed food." Christina used to line up for free food at St. Mark's food pantry in Fairfield, which is a partner agency of the Solano food bank. Now, she volunteers there almost daily and knows she can relate to those who show up on an empty stomach. "It's going to be a lot of people out there doing some crazy stuff. People need the food stamps, they need to eat. They're going to be very desperate," said Christina.
"We just really look to our local community to step up and help us during this time," said Sly. "It's very critical, especially as we go into the holiday season, which is a time when we always have an increased need and try to do more for families that can't put a holiday meal on the table."
Another layer to this, Sly says, is the economic impact of a CalFresh disruption.
To the politicians in Washington, Christina urges action to end the government shutdown. "Get your act together and get it done. Get it done," Christina said. For help finding food in Solano County, visit the food bank's website.
