Monday, October 20, 2025

This year, Food Bank of the Rockies and others across the U.S. are bringing in less but need to feed more. Monica Buhlig, chief impact officer with Food Bank of the Rockies, said they lost about 25% of their food supplied by the federal government earlier this year when the Trump administration made changes to USDA food programs, creating a gap of roughly 14,000 meals a day. That comes as demand has grown this year. "With the increased cost of housing, with the increased cost of food, we have seen more and more neighbors over the past year," said Buhlig. "Prior to the government shutdown, we were seeing the highest levels of hunger that we have seen in 10 years."

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps feed more than 40 million Americans, was already facing stricter eligibility standards starting next month, meaning many will lose coverage. If the shutdown stretches into November, the entire program would face "insufficient funds," the USDA warned in a letter obtained by ABC News.

This is the point where a means of defending yourself will start to become increasingly important.

Food scarcity will drive up desperation. Desperation will drive up crime. Crime will drive up the potential risk to you and your loved ones.
