With the federal government shut down nearing the one-month mark, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, runs out of money this Saturday. That’s several days before state emergency funds are poised to fill the gap.

At a Louisa County food bank, there’s no pause in traffic from residents seeking help to put food on the table.
