At Feeding the Foothills in Roseville, staff say it's been one of their busiest stretches in months, serving families they've never seen before.
According to Placer County Health and Human Services (HHS), nearly 29,000 people in the county receive SNAP benefits each month, totaling more than $5.3 million in aid. But the recent federal shutdown caused delays in payments, leaving many families uncertain about when they'd receive assistance.
During that pause, demand at local food banks nearly doubled. Heinrich said that behind those numbers are real people, like one mother who told her, "I just want to make sure my children are fed."
"At this point, December is up in the air," Geisler said. "We haven't received official word one way or another."
"We're seeing an increase in support and that is vital," Heinrich said. "We don't know what we would do without our community and volunteers."
Feeding the Foothills says the best way to help right now is through donations that keep their food distributions going during this critical time.
