The federal government shutdown has suspended November SNAP payments, putting about 86,000 Utah households at risk of losing vital food assistance.

Southern Utah food pantries are bracing for a dramatic spike in families seeking groceries, as many turn to local resources out of necessity.

Utah Food Bank CEO Ginette Bott warns local pantries are ill-equipped for this surge, facing limits in space, refrigeration, and staffing.

In Kanab, Kane County Care & Share already serves more households, while Cedar City’s Iron County pantry sees donations dropping as demand climbs.

Residents needing help or wishing to donate should contact their nearest pantry for hours and details.
