(The Center Square) — With the federal government shutdown lumbering on, New Hampshire officials are scrambling to come up with plans to provide food for SNAP recipients who stand to lose their benefits with funding set to run out next week. 

Gov. Kelly Ayotte said Thursday that the state's contingency plans call for partnering with the New Hampshire Food Bank to increase Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients’ access to food through the organization's mobile food pantry program and other pantries across the state.
