Lucky supermarket, 1750 Fulton Street, CALIFORNIA
Access signal: Lucky supermarket, 1750 Fulton Street grocery access loss
Pressure type: food access
Timing: The August source reported an access change with an authorized effective or event binding of 2026-09-11. The source-publication context is 2026-08-04. This record is placed at 2026-09-11 and does not describe a completed August closure unless the source says so.
Known limits: The neighborhood is not left without grocery options, and the source does not quantify how many households will lose practical access, how much farther residents must travel, projected increases in food-program demand or whether a replacement grocer will open. The closure's distributional impact is therefore documented but not precisely measurable.

Separate emergency food assistance may be available, so the finding documents loss of the regular monthly distribution rather than a complete monthlong absence of all possible emergency assistance.

New Britain Food Pantry, PENNSYLVANIA
Access signal: New Britain Food Pantry food access interruption
Pressure type: food access
Timing: The authorized event or access-condition binding is 2026-08-12. The source-publication date is 2026-08-12 and public placement is 2026-08-12.
Known limits: The reviewed sources do not quantify normal pantry utilization, the number of households expected to miss service during the closure, whether clients have been individually referred to other pantries, or whether nearby providers have sufficient capacity to absorb displaced demand. The finding therefore documents an imminent service interruption, not a quantified household-level food shortage.

Known limits: The library does not state why the market will close August 14, quantify expected customers affected, or identify equivalent replacement grocery service. The page also lists August 19 as closed, but the current schedule does not establish Wednesday as a regular market day, so no separate August 19 access loss is inferred.
