NEW YORK (WABC) -- If Congress doesn't reach a deal by Saturday to resolve the shutdown, benefits could also run out for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which helps about one in eight Americans buy groceries.

Starting Nov. 1, a total of 140 Head Start preschool programs also could miss their federal funding payments under the shutdown.

States could also run out of money as early as Nov. 8 for another food aid program supporting millions of low-income mothers and young kids called WIC.

More funding for food banks and pantries is planned in states including Connecticut and New York, where Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Monday that she is "fast tracking" $30 million in emergency food assistance funds to help keep food pantries stocked.
