Jimmy Kimmel Launches Community Food Bank Amid SNAP Uncertainty
The late-night show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” has opened a donation center to support residents affected by the ongoing government shutdown and disruptions to SNAP benefits. The initiative was revealed Tuesday on Instagram following President Trump’s statement that the administration would continue withholding assistance despite a federal judge’s directive to maintain the program using emergency funds.
“Cutting SNAP benefits creates uncertainty for American children, seniors and families,” the show wrote.
