Thousands are flocking to food banks across Southern California as SNAP benefits come to an end, resulting in significant concern for families dependent on food assistance. Organizations like Feeding San Diego and local schools, such as LAUSD, are stepping in to provide emergency meals and resources. Emergency food distribution events are being organized in various counties, while community leaders mobilize to support vulnerable families. Regions like Contra Costa and Fresno are preparing for an increase in need as federal aid is halted, with initiatives to distribute grocery debit cards and emergency food supplies. As the situation develops, residents are urged to find local food assistance resources and consider volunteering to help those in need.
