Food banks across California are preparing for a surge in need as federal benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program run out this weekend.

Gov. Gavin Newsom earlier this week deployed the National Guard to food banks needing help with distribution. Bay Area food banks declined the offer.
