SALEM – The City of Salem is preparing for the anticipated termination of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food assistance beginning November 1st, which will negatively impact roughly one in five Salem residents. City officials are working closely with local partners to help residents continue to have access to nutritious food and essential resources.

“Many people have already reached out to ask how they can help their neighbors if SNAP ends,” said Mayor Dominick Pangallo. “Right now, financial donations to community organizations that provide direct food assistance are the most effective way to help. These donations allow our partners, such as The Salem Pantry, to purchase exactly what’s needed, when it’s needed. Every dollar makes a greater impact than canned goods alone.”

The United Way is also launching a fund for private donations to help SNAP recipients across the Commonwealth.

Residents experiencing food insecurity are encouraged to review the attached list of available resources or visit salemfoodpolicy.com for the most updated information.

“We’ll continue to coordinate with City departments and local nonprofits who provide food assistance and will keep sharing information to community members as any future opportunities or changes develop,” said Mayor Pangallo.
