"Amid the continuing federal government shutdown, the
Open Door has provided emergency grocery supplies to 652 people
from 271 households to help mitigate the delay to November
SNAP benefits.
People whose SNAP benefits are on hold, government employees
who have been furloughed, and government contractors impacted by the shutdown
were invited on Saturday to pick-up free food at the Open Door, organizers
said."

"State Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) also attended the
Saturday distribution and continues to advocate for food resources to help
local people.
Calling the Open Door “a beacon of hope,” he said, “We are
in the midst of incredible challenges to food security, and times that demand
extraordinary responses.”"
