Hundreds of thousands of people are waiting for food assistance right now in Southwestern PA. Host Megan Harris is with newsletter editor Francesca Dabecco and Axios Pittsburgh reporter Chrissy Suttles to talk about how the loss of SNAP is affecting Pittsburgh and what organizations you can tap into — whether you're looking for extra support or have something to give.

If you've been personally affected by these SNAP delays and want to share your story, reach out to Axios Pittsburgh's social host Alexis Johnson at pittsburgh@axios.com.
