Jimmy Kimmel Launches 'Big, Beautiful Food Bank' to Help SNAP Recipients Impacted by Government Shutdown

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is giving back by launching a donation center amid the ongoing government shutdown.

The ABC late night show announced the new initiative Tuesday on Instagram, shortly after President Trump indicated he still planned to withhold SNAP benefits — even though a federal judge previously directed the administration to use emergency funds to keep the food assistance program going.

“Cutting SNAP benefits creates uncertainty for American children, seniors and families,” the talk show wrote while announcing “The Jimmy Kimmel Live Big, Beautiful Food Bank.” “To support our community members in need, we’re starting a donation center in our Hollywood backlot to benefit the @LAFoodBank & @StJosephCtr … If you are in LA, please come by to donate food and if you are not, please consider supporting your local food banks.”

Donation hours will be between 9 a.m. PT and 5 p.m. PT at 6901 Hawthorn Ave in Los Angeles, Calif. They’ve noted the most needed foods are “low-sodium soups/chilis/stews, tuna/chicken/salmon (cans or pouches), nut butters, low-sugar cereals, protein bars, whole grain pasta and rice.”

Seth also has some kind of charity outfit, I forget what it is called or who it benefits offhand. I'd guess that's true of a lot of our prominent media figures.
