A partial government shutdown would immediately affect government workers’ access to food. CEO of the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank Kara Nickens says this could in turn impact the amount of people they would need to serve.
“A lot of people are already struggling just to put food on the table and now if we’re going to have more people that are going to need to access our food, we certainly want to make sure that we have enough so that everybody has enough food to eat for the holidays.” Nickens said.
