Impact of the Government Shutdown
The government shutdown has left approximately 1.4 million federal employees without pay. This scenario also poses challenges for around 42 million Americans who depend on SNAP benefits. Although a recent court order requires partial funding for SNAP, uncertainty still looms over the program.
The $1 meal deal from Carl’s Jr. serves as immediate relief for affected families. By providing a warm meal at a low cost, they aim to bridge the gap for those facing financial hardships during this period.
For Southern California residents needing food assistance, this initiative represents an accessible and supportive option amid tough circumstances.
