HUNTINGTON — While SNAP benefits hadn’t been paused yet — which happened Nov. 1 — the director of the Huntington Food Pantry said that when it opened last Thursday, at least of one-third of those seeking food assistance were new.
“People hadn’t even missed [getting their accounts refilled] but they had this fear, complete fear,” said Laura Gavioli, the director of the pantry located in the basement of the Pioneer Valley Assembly of God at 63 Old Chester Road, where she is also the church’s office manager.
