Possible SNAP & WIC Benefit Disruptions

If the government shutdown continues, individuals and families who rely on SNAP (food stamps) and WIC may not receive their full benefits starting November 1, 2025.

We know this could impact many of the people we serve — and even some of our own staff members.

To help during this uncertain time, we’ve compiled a list of local food pantries and community resources to ensure no one goes without support.

Illinois South Suburban Food Pantries

Indiana Food Pantries

Please share these resources with anyone who may need them — and remember, it’s okay to reach out for help yourself.

You can also find nearby food assistance through:
