CNA Staff, Nov 7, 2025 \/ 17:40 pm (CNA).<\/p>\n

As federal food benefits have been frozen during the government shutdown, Catholic dioceses and charities around the country are holding emergency food drives and launching fundraising efforts.<\/p>\n

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will resume once the government passes a bill to fund the federal government \u2014 but, more than a month into the shutdown, there is no set end date in sight.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two federal district judges at the end of October moved to compel the Trump administration to pay for SNAP benefits, but because Congress has not yet authorized funding for federal government operations, the Trump administration asked an appeals court on Friday to block the orders and continue with partial SNAP payments.<\/p>\n

The pause in SNAP benefits is estimated<\/a> to affect about 42 million Americans.<\/p>\n

In St. Louis, food pantries saw an influx of people in need. In response, parishes across the archdiocese are holding emergency food drives for the first two weekends of November.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nearly 300,000 people in the area could \u201close access to vital food benefits,\u201d\u00a0Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski said in a letter to pastors, whom he asked to \u201crespond with love and generosity to this urgent need.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are called to be people of faith and action,\u201d Rozanski said. \u201cAnd so, I ask the good people of our archdiocese to come together to help our neighbors who are in danger of going without their \u2018daily food.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The archdiocese is working with the local Catholic Charities and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to ensure that food pantries are full.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Julie Komanetsky, a spokesperson for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in St. Louis, said the food drives are \u201cbringing great results for our food pantries.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our faith in action,\u201d she told CNA. \u201cLike the story of the good Samaritan who sees the victim and cares for him, Catholics see that people need to be fed and they are responding. They are answering God\u2019s call to be good Samaritans rather than indifferent bystanders!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

So far, the parish food drives have been \u201cvery successful and will help keep our pantries stocked and able to support the need,\u201d Komanetsky said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hope for this effort is to keep all within the boundaries of our archdiocese from going hungry during this difficult time in our country,\u201d she continued. \u201cThis is our united Catholic effort to let all people know that we see them, we hear their needs, and we will help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPope Leo tells us: Faith cannot be separated from love for the poor,\u201d she continued. \u201cThis effort is a testament of our faith and our love.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

St. Louis is not the only archdiocese finding creative solutions to the SNAP crisis. In Connecticut, Hartford Archbishop Christopher Coyne has released $500,000 of emergency funding to food banks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Coyne said the funding is being contributed \u201cin the spirit of Jesus\u2019 command to serve our brothers and sisters in need.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Catholic Church provides relief and hope for God\u2019s children,\u201d Coyne said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s what we have done for over 2,000 years and what we continue to do today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston Catholic Charities is seeing a similar rise in need. Across its three food pantries Catholic Charities is extending hours and increasing distribution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMany families across our service area are struggling, worried about missing paychecks or not being able to put food on the table,\u201d Cynthia Nunes Colbert, who heads the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, told CNA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The group is also offering emergency rental assistance to federal workers and is reaching out to the wider community for support by encouraging food drives, volunteering, and donations, Catholic Charities told CNA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s through financial donations, food drives, or volunteering, together we can provide hope and stability during these uncertain times,\u201d Colbert said.<\/p>\n

As part of a nationwide effort, Catholic Charities USA launched a fundraising effort <\/a>in light of the funding cuts. The funds raised will go directly toward buying and sending food to Catholic Charities groups across the country to support ministries such as food pantries and soup kitchens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For families who rely on food assistance programs, this a \u201ccatastrophic moment\u201d said CCUSA President and CEO Kerry Alys Robinson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The government shutdown \u201chas created incredibly serious, real-life consequences for millions of people, from furloughed federal workers to those living in poverty who will now struggle even more to provide for their families,\u201d Robinson said in a recent statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
