Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens has launched an emergency response for those affected by the government shutdown.
The organization is offering food, mental health support, and case management as benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — or SNAP — are set to expire Saturday, Nov. 1.
All 60 CCBQ food pantry locations in Brooklyn and Queens are open to anyone affected, no appointment required.
