Houston Food Bank is seeking help because SNAP benefits come with risks

    The federal government shutdown has raised concerns about the possible end of SNAP benefits for millions of Americans starting November 1. In Houston, the Houston Food Bank is preparing for a possible surge of families seeking assistance, with officials warning that about 15,000 households will lose their SNAP benefits every day after Nov. 1. The nonprofit is urging volunteers and donors to step forward with donations and time, and resources are available for those who need help during this time.
