It’s been a tumultuous few weeks for Americans who rely on SNAP food benefits, which were disrupted by the government shutdown.

Some families have been leaning on school food pantries to help fill the gap left by delayed SNAP payments.

The pantry at Brashear High School in Pittsburgh is part of Feeding America, a national network that includes more than 200 food banks and nearly 4,900 school-based pantries.
