This is pretty well known however we were just notified yesterday that cuts will also affect our local food bank and they will limit the number of clients that can be served at our food pantry, limiting the food the pantry can purchase discounted.

So people are losing money to buy food and the food pantrys will not have enough to cover the loss.

And all those politicians that say 'the charities can take care of the people' are a-holes.

Woooow... who in the fuck can endorse this kind of stuff? Okay, so what if you have an issue with SNAP, but now even the food pantries are going to have less supplies??? Those agencies are important! They often provide disaster relief. So what happens if a storm rolls through PA and folks can't get food?

Also, on another note, who is responsible for gutting these programs? I need specifics so I know who to [Removed by Reddit].

The consolidated appropriations act of 2023 is the law. So, both senate and congress as a whole passed it.
