It’s about to be a cold winter, and many Maryland families rely on federal programs to heat their homes.
One of those programs, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, is being delayed because of Trump’s federal shutdown.

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children:
I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

Many of the Marylanders who voted for this president are unsure of how they’ll put food on the table because of him.
None of them should be left in the cold because Washington failed to do its job.
We’ve stepped up, with $10 million in emergency funding to fight food insecurity across the state.

I'm encouraged by these rulings affirming what we've long said: The Trump Administration must follow the law.
On behalf of the 680,000 Marylanders who rely on SNAP to put food on the table, I’d like to thank @oagmaryland.bsky.social and all of our partners in this process for their leadership.

NEW: A federal judge orders the government to continue SNAP benefits during the shutdown, while another judge calls the move to cut them "unlawful."
Federal judge orders Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits out of contingency fund
The ruling came one day before funding for SNAP, more commonly known as food stamps, was set to lapse.

Day 30 of President Trump’s Federal Government Shutdown:
In response to the President’s illegal refusal to deploy emergency federal funding to keep food assistance running, I am declaring a State of Emergency.
We will surge $10 million to food banks and food bank partners across the state.

I said we’d do all that we can to make sure the federal government follows the law and provides funding for the critical services Marylanders rely on — and I meant it.

Last week, #TeamDHS joined @govwesmoore.bsky.social at the Bowie Interfaith Pantry and Emergency Aid Fund. We saw firsthand the increased demand as a result of the federal government shutdown. This is what it looks like when communities come together to leave no one behind.

As a result of the federal government shutdown, SNAP benefits are likely not to be deposited on EBT cards beginning Nov. 1, and 680,000 Marylanders who rely on SNAP to eat—including nearly 270,000 children—stand to go hungry.
