The cruel reality is that state Senate Republicans — who have controlled the chamber for more than 30 years — refuse to even consider real solutions to food insecurity.

The state cannot fill the hunger gaps left by the erasure of federal #SNAP funding. However, we absolutely could and should increase funding for our state level anti-hunger programs like the State Food Purchase Program (SFPP) and the Pennsylvania Agricultural Surplus System (PASS) in the #PABudget.

For those who rely on SNAP, this isn’t an inconvenience. It’s an emergency. Even worse, PA Senate Republicans are refusing to pass the state budget and stonewalling the limited ways our state General Assembly could act to help feed these families.

Nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians will not receive SNAP benefits in November because of the federal government shutdown driven entirely by Republicans in control of the White House and Congress. Until a federal budget is passed, ~$366 million in SNAP funds that PA receives every month will disappear.

Digital graphic that reads: "We're not getting our state food money because of this budget impasse... our shelves are almost empty. We've never seen it this bad... Not only are we seeing more people because of the price of everything, we're seeing more people because of the budget impasse and the (federal) shutdown." - Jennifer Miller, CEO of Westmoreland Food Bank, quote in reporting by WTAE on October 20, 2025.
