HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) -- The Virginia Peninsula Foodbank saw a large line form ahead of their mobile distribution event at the Hampton Coliseum Wednesday morning.
While the distribution itself did not start until 10 a.m., many people lined up early in order to register for the event. The distribution comes after warnings that federal food programs, such as SNAP, may run out during the government shutdown.
