“Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry,” the unsigned message posted on the USDA’s official website reads.

Growing need and decreased resources are squeezing the charitable food system beyond its capacity, leaders say.

SNAP development director Sasha Gersten-Paal has said there won't be enough funds to send benefits to the roughly 42 million food stamp recipients next month. However, the Trump Administration might be legally required to provide SNAP even during shutdown, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

After nearly four weeks, the federal government remains shut down. As a result, it's becoming more likely that SNAP benefits or food stamps will be delayed.

If the federal shutdown continues past Oct. 27, funding for SNAP food assistance will run out in Texas, potentially leaving 3.5 million residents without benefits.

Americans face a "tough time" as food banks are unlikely to be able to meet the demand amid the government shutdown.
