The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — more commonly known as SNAP, or food stamps — is a key benefits program that serves more than 40 million people across the country. Now, the shutdown is threatening to suspend benefits, raising concerns over where millions of people who rely on the program will turn to for food.

With food-stamp funding set to lapse Saturday, recipients are asking what happens to their benefits — and when help might resume.

The Courier Journal wants to hear from people affected by the SNAP cutoff, including residents who receive benefits and businesses that accept them.
