科罗拉多食品银行警告联邦停业可能会在11月前中断援助, Colorado food banks warn federal shutdown may disrupt aid by November due to rising demand and funding gaps.

科罗拉多州粮食银行面临不断增长的需求和资金短缺,领导人警告说,联邦长期停业可能会在11月前中断关键的粮食援助。 Colorado food banks face rising demand and funding shortfalls, with leaders warning that a prolonged federal shutdown could disrupt critical food assistance by November. 尽管10月1日的停工没有立即产生影响,但美国农业部的紧急粮食援助方案可能面临偿还延误,威胁供应品供应,因为此前的削减和通货膨胀已经使供应紧张。 Despite no immediate impact from the October 1 shutdown, the USDA’s Emergency Food Assistance Program faces potential reimbursement delays, threatening supplies already strained by prior cuts and inflation. 自人口大流行前水平以来,需求猛增,粮食银行提供创纪录数量,包括高成本农村地区的工作家庭和基本工人。 Demand has surged since pre-pandemic levels, with food banks serving record numbers, including working families and essential workers in high-cost rural areas. 有限的新鲜食品选择和联邦支持的减少迫使人们不得不依赖更廉价的替代食品,而社区捐助帮助但不能完全弥补日益增长的差距。 Limited fresh food options and reduced federal support have forced reliance on cheaper alternatives, while community donations help but cannot fully offset the growing gap.
