Although Congress voted to reopen the government, the long pause on funding for the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, continues to drive up demand at Oklahoma food pantries even as some benefit recipients see partial payouts.
In this special episode, Michael Cross talks with KOSU's Lionel Ramos about his visit to food pantries in the Oklahoma City area. This episode also includes a report from KOSU's Anna Pope.
