Overview
- The show set up the "Big, Beautiful Food Bank" on its Hollywood backlot at 6901 Hawthorn Ave, accepting donations from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT.
- Contributions will be distributed by the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and St. Joseph Center.
- High-need items include low-sodium soups and stews, low-sugar cereals, canned tuna or chicken, protein bars, pasta, rice, baby supplies, and hygiene products.
- The drive follows a planned Nov. 1 SNAP freeze tied to the shutdown, with two federal judges ordering the administration to keep benefits running as officials move to partial contingency funding that the White House says will be reduced and may take time to recalculate.
- In his monologue, Jimmy Kimmel criticized President Donald Trump’s handling of SNAP and urged people outside Los Angeles to support their local food banks.
