The shutdown has put Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding in peril — but that's just the latest hit to the growing population of hundreds of thousands of food insecure people in our state. Southern Nevada already has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, new work requirements for SNAP benefits go into place in January, and Nevada households pay some of the nation's highest grocery bills. And that's on top of the 1.3 million pounds of canceled food aid earlier this year. Perfect storm, much? Co-host Dayvid Figler talks with Three Square Food Bank CEO Beth Martino about how their organization is pivoting, how the state might step in, and the surprising stats and stories she's hearing on the front lines of hunger.
