Countywide Food Assistance and SNAP Information
DuPage County is taking steps to help residents during the planned halt in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding that could affect 42 million Americans during the federal government shutdown. Beginning November 1, more than 67,000 DuPage County residents who rely on SNAP benefits to buy groceries could be impacted.
“We want DuPage residents to know we have staff standing by 24/7 to help people in need during these uncertain times,” said County Board Chair Deborah Conroy. “People can dial 211 or visit 211DuPage.gov to locate food pantries and programs in their community. In addition to directing residents to food pantries, 211 staff can also help residents who need assistance paying rent or their energy bills. Those wishing to donate or volunteer at a food pantry can contact Giving DuPage to get connected to a local organization.”
