SOUTH JERSEY — Despite President Donald Trump’s post on Truth Social on Tuesday, Nov. 4, indicating that SNAP benefits will not be released until the government shutdown ends, the White House today said that SNAP recipients would receive their benefits; however, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that “it’s going to take time to receive this money…”

Follow South Jersey will continue to work as a resource for South Jersey residents to locate various services that provide food. Below is a list of food banks in Cape May County. This information comes from the Cape May County website.
