Good morning, Southfield.

Forgotten Harvest is preparing for increased food demand as SNAP benefits may pause at midnight today due to a 31-day federal shutdown—while the Michigan Senate approved a bill to send $71 million to help keep benefits flowing, local families worry about empty EBT cards.

Food pantries have already seen a 15% rise in demand, and organizers say further fundraising may be needed if the shutdown lasts longer.

Daylight saving time will end Sunday, Nov.

2 at 2 a.m. when clocks are set back to 1 a.m.—this change will give residents an extra hour of sleep; remember to adjust any manual clocks as needed since many reset automatically overnight.

A federal judge blocked the government from suspending SNAP benefits during the shutdown by ruling that the USDA must continue sending payments with contingency funds—food banks in Southfield are preparing to help if the benefits face further changes.
