Reimagining the possibilities of life for Pennsylvanians
As of November 1, 2025, millions of Americans—including many older Pennsylvanians—may not receive their monthly food benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. This disruption affects individuals living on fixed incomes, many of whom rely on SNAP to afford groceries and maintain their health.
