As the government shutdown continues, SNAP recipients are struggling , but Volusia County residents have rallied to collect 200,000 pounds of food for families affected by the suspension of benefits.

Just yesterday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to temporarily withhold about $4 billion in benefits.

In response, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office and the Jewish Federation organized a food drive at Daytona International Speedway in under four days.

Today, cars arrived, and food donations accumulated until they reached 200,000 pounds, enough to feed 5,000 families who rely on the SNAP program. This content is imported from YouTube.
