LINCOLN HEIGHTS, Ohio — In the midst of a snowy Monday morning, a community came together as the federal government remained shut down.
I sat down with Marjorie Jones and Lakisha Hill, two women who said they partially rely on SNAP benefits.
"If it wasn't for the community, we wouldn't have anyone. The government doesn't care about us, I'm sorry. Cause if they did, they wouldn't have shut this down," Jones said.
Senators are still working on a deal, as millions across the country wait for a resolution.
"I'm a diabetic, I can't get certain foods like that cause I'm a diabetic. So, I need my snap benefits," Jones said.
