St. Vincent de Paul is planning to hold a drive-thru in Phoenix to hand out food boxes on Nov. 1.<\/p>\n

PHOENIX \u2014 As food assistance benefits are getting closer to running out, one food bank in Phoenix is seeing long lines of people showing up to get a box of supplies.<\/p>\n

Sky12 flew over the St. Mary’s Food Bank on Thursday and captured footage of a long line of cars waiting to get into the facility. The looming cuts to federal assistance are prompting local charities to prepare for a sudden spike in demand.<\/p>\n

Milt Liu, CEO of St. Mary’s Food Bank, recently told 12News the organization plans to buy more supplies to address the short-term need and emphasized they won’t turn people away.<\/p>\n

Starting in November, benefits distributed through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are expected to not be given to recipients due to the ongoing government shutdown.<\/p>\n

As a result of the pending SNAP cuts, St. Vincent de Paul is hosting a drive-thru of emergency food distribution on Nov. 1 at 7:30 a.m. in Phoenix to hand out food boxes to local families.<\/p>\n

An estimated 950,000 people in Arizona received SNAP benefits each month during fiscal year 2024, records show.<\/p>\n
