Multiple food delivery companies, such as DoorDash and Instacart, announced they will provide deep discounts or launch food assistance programs for customers who receive food stamps, as the program is slated to run dry on Nov. 1 due to the ongoing government shutdown.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has warned that starting next month, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) won’t send benefits to people receiving assistance via the federal program.
