Food Banks Are Running Out of Food Exactly When More Americans Will Need Them
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—Sarah Aragón glanced at the growing line of people snaking down Central Avenue, waiting for their allotment of everything from melons to pinto beans to frozen catfish. She wondered how she'll keep feeding them all. This year, the federal government has canceled food deliveries and cut hundreds of millions of dollars in annual aid to food banks. For Aragón, the head of programming for Roadrunner Food Bank, New Mexico's largest charitable food operation, that has meant losing more than seven million pounds of food she had been counting on. President Trump's megabill, passed earlier this month, includes cuts to food stamps, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. Food banks across the country were already straining under rising demand. Now, they worry many more Americans will go hungry. Some food banks and pantries are pushing for more state, local and private funding. Others are considering cutting back services and the amount of food they can distribute. 'It's getting to the point where we can't fill every single need in terms of food,' Aragón said. 'I don't know how much more creative we can be to make things stretch.' Food banks have seen requests for assistance from households—including those with children—jump sharply over the past few years, driven by the end of pandemic aid programs and the impact of inflation on grocery prices. According to a recent survey from Feeding America, a national network of food banks, over half of 162 food banks reported demand rising this past April compared with April 2024. Sarah Aragón is the head of programming for the Roadrunner Food Bank in New Mexico. Earlier this year, the Agriculture Department canceled millions of pounds of shipments to food banks that were part of its emergency food-assistance program for low-income people. A spokesperson for the department said it had only terminated an additional fund set up by the Biden administration that resulted in inflated spending on the program. Deliveries for the main emergency food effort continue uninterrupted, the department said. A separate pandemic-era program, slated to disburse roughly $500 million this year to food banks to buy produce, dairy items and meats from local farmers, was also cut by the Agriculture Department. The department said it had released hundreds of millions of dollars to food banks that had been previously promised as part of the program. Yet food banks say they are already feeling the impacts of federal cuts. 'This is the most challenging situation I've seen in 17 years here,' said Paule Pachter, president and chief executive of Long Island Cares, a food bank that serves New York's Long Island. 'We've been through Superstorm Sandy, Covid, but this is a self-imposed crisis.' Pachter's organization faces mounting demand, opening two additional pantries over the past few years to add to its four others. In 2019, it recorded just over 59,000 visits from people needing food. In 2024, that number was more than 193,000. A waiting line last month at a Roadrunner Food Bank distribution in Albuquerque, N.M. The Roadrunner Food Bank is pushing state lawmakers to allocate more funding to offset cuts. Earlier this year, a delivery of a quarter million pounds of food from the emergency food program was canceled, Pachter said. Pachter and other food bank leaders say the SNAP reductions included in the new budget bill will strain resources by pushing more people whose benefits have either been cut or reduced toward pantries to get food. Republicans say changes to the SNAP program will ensure people receiving the benefits are working, as required. The budget bill expands work requirements for SNAP, raising the upper age limit for able-bodied adults from 54 to 64, meaning those people will typically have to work for 80 hours a month to qualify for food benefits. Caregivers of children ages 14 and older previously didn't have to work to get SNAP assistance. The new legislation removes that exemption in most cases. These changes are set to go into effect immediately, while other changes that shift some of the cost of paying for SNAP from the federal government to the states will be implemented in the coming years. A congressional analysis of an earlier House version of the bill found that roughly 3.2 million people would lose SNAP benefits in an average month over the next decade. Some food banks have seen a rise in people accessing their services who also get SNAP assistance. A pandemic-era program that provided households with the maximum amount of food benefits ended in 2023. According to data from the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, the number of people who use its pantries and were also enrolled in SNAP jumped by 64% between the end of 2022 and the end of 2024. Zach Zook, chief strategy officer for the Pennsylvania organization, said the rise showed that even before the cuts, SNAP benefits often weren't enough. Families enrolled in the program use food banks to fill the gap. Madaline Yazell, 75, at left, says Roadrunner in Albuquerque enables her to supplement the groceries she buys with her Social Security money. Since April, the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank has also had 23 loads of emergency food-assistance program goods canceled. The food bank receives $173,000 a month from the Agriculture Department's local food program to buy local pork, chicken and dairy items, among other products from farmers. The last payment will be in July, before its funds from the program run out, Zook said. The food bank has seen demand soar over the past several years. The number of times it served children nearly doubled between fiscal years 2019 and 2024. Some front-line pantries, the groups that actually distribute the food provided by food banks, are considering reductions in services to conserve resources. The Love Thy Neighbor community pantry in King George County, Va., recently drafted a contingency plan to prepare for the cuts. Among the options being considered: limiting the number of times people can visit pantries from weekly to biweekly, and reducing the 50 to 55 pounds of food each household receives per visit. 'There are different dials that we can spin to try and keep serving people in a reduced way,' said Ryan Ragsdale, treasurer and secretary of the pantry. In New Mexico, roughly one in five residents are enrolled in SNAP—among the highest participation rates in the country. Roadrunner is ramping up food drives and pushing state lawmakers to allocate more funding to offset cuts. Brian Hall, a burly former Army infantryman, is a regular at one of Roadrunner's weekly distribution sites. Hall, 60 years old, said a back injury has left him unable to work at all since 2018. He had been interested in working as a counselor for other veterans, but a recent series of strokes derailed that plan. Brian Hall, a veteran in Albuquerque, says he never thought he would seek help from a food-bank program. Hall said he gets $1,400 in disability payments from his back injury and $140 a month in SNAP benefits. He still relies on Roadrunner each week to help get enough to eat, calling it a lifeline. 'I moved to Albuquerque to help my parents because they're older and I wanted to give them a hand. But now I'm the one getting the help,' he said. 'Never in a million years, did I think I'd be in this situation.' Aragón said that this year, Roadrunner's distributions run out of food more often than they have in the past. 'When we have to tell people that we have no more left, the look on their faces when they walk away is like 'What am I going to do now?'' she said. 'I don't have an answer.'

SC rebukes cartoonist booked over caricature of PM, RSS
New Delhi [India], July 14 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Monday rebuked Indore-based cartoonist Hemant Malviya for his objectionable caricatures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) while terming his conduct 'inflammatory' and 'immature.' A bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Aravind Kumar expressed disapproval of the cartoonist's conduct saying, 'The comedians, cartoonists etc. look at their conduct...' Advocate Vrinda Grover, appearing for Malviya, said the cartoonist will delete the post and make a statement that he was not endorsing the objectionable comments. She admitted that the cartoonist's comments and the caricature might be 'unpalatable or in poor taste', but it was still not an offence. The advocate prayed for interim protection to Malviya, saying that the police were knocking at his door. When the bench asked about the age of cartoonist, Grover said he was aged over 50 years. To this Justice Dhulia said, 'Still no maturity. We agree that it is inflammatory.' The bench then posted the matter for hearing on Tuesday. The apex court was hearing an anticipatory bail of Malviya for his objectionable caricatures of PM and RSS. The Madhya Pradesh High Court on July 3 had rejected his anticipatory bail plea. The High Court had said that Malviya had misused the freedom of speech and ought to have used his discretion while drawing the caricature in question. His plea has clarified that he had published the original cartoon during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic when social media was rife with misinformation and fear related to the safety and efficacy of the vaccines. The petitioner said his cartoon is a satirical caricature work which offers social commentary on the comments made by a public figure regarding some vaccines being effective and 'safe like water', even though their efficacy remains untested through rigorous clinical trials. He further claimed that the caricature, was the artist's imagination of a common man being vaccinated by a public representative and has been in public circulation on social media for over four years. It said that a social media user on May 1, 2025 had posted the cartoon with his comment stating 'through implication that caste census is merely a tool to distract the public from issues like Waqf and Pahalgam'. The petitioner claimed that Malviya shared that post to demonstrate that his cartoons are freely available for public use and expression but he did not endorse the views expressed in the added commentary but acknowledged the use of his cartoon.

‘Comedians, cartoonists…look at their conduct': SC terms Madhya Pradesh cartoonist's post on Modi and RSS workers ‘inflammatory'
The Supreme Court on Monday termed as 'inflammatory' a social media post about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh workers shared by Madhya Pradesh-based cartoonist Hemant Malviya and asked him if he was willing to delete it. Malviya informed a bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Aravind Kumar that he was ready to take the post down. He has approached the Supreme Court challenging the Madhya Pradesh High Court order denying him anticipatory bail in the case. Malviya was booked following a complaint filed by one Vijay Joshi who alleged that his Facebook profile contained images, videos, and comments that were deliberately posted to incite hatred against the RSS. He alleged the posts also contained objectionable, offensive, and derogatory cartoons targeting Prime Minister Modi and RSS volunteers. There were also comments on Lord Shiva, deemed offensive to religious sentiments, the complainant alleged. Joshi alleged that the posts were a deliberate act to 'incite conflict between communities (and) defame and provoke the world's largest organisation, the RSS. The intention behind this act appears to be to instigate RSS workers and society to riot, take the law into their own hands, engage in violence, and disrupt public order'. Malviya was booked under sections 196 (promoting enmity between different groups), 299 (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), 302 (uttering words, etc with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings of any person), 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), 353(2) (statements conducive to public mischief) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and section 67A (publishing or transmitting material containing sexually explicit act, etc, in electronic form) of the Information Technology Act. The post in question, a cartoon posing questions about the efficacy of Covid vaccines, was reused by a Facebook user in May 2025 along with certain comments in the context of the government's decision to hold a caste census. Malviya reshared the post and endorsed the comments. Advocate Vrinda Gover, who appeared for the cartoonist, submitted that the cartoon 'was from 2021 about some comments that some vaccines are safe as water. There had been no law and order problems because of this cartoon since then. It got revived by someone else because things live on social media forever…the words are not mine, only the visual is mine.' 'The comedians, cartoonists etc. look at their conduct…,' Justice Dhulia said and asked if Malviya was willing to delete the post. Agreeing, Grover said the appellant was aged over 50 years. Justice Dhulia then remarked, 'Still no maturity. We agree that it is inflammatory.' Opposing the plea, Additional Solicitor-General K M Nataraj, who appeared for the Madhya Pradesh government, said there was an offence if the post was indeed inflammatory. He submitted that 'this is causing social disharmony and breakdown of law and order. All over the country, such things are happening and they are triggering.' The court said it would hear the matter again on Tuesday.
