This study contributes to the growing literature on household resource allocation across time by examining monthly cycles of food pantry visitation. This study uses 13 years of data from over 40,000 households who visited the Food Bank for Larimer County in Northern Colorado. Analysis reveals that pantry visitation fluctuates dramatically by day of the month and is highest at the end of the month among the general pantry client population. Further analysis examines these monthly cycles with consideration for the Colorado SNAP distribution schedule, with results that suggest pantry visitation increases when SNAP benefits run out.

另一半：SNAP福利背景下的每月食品储藏周期检查

这项研究通过检查食品储藏室探视的每月周期，为跨时期的家庭资源分配提供了越来越多的文献。这项研究使用了来自40,000户家庭的13年数据，这些家庭访问了北科罗拉多州Larimer县的食物银行。分析显示，食品储藏室的探视量在每月的一天中波动很大，并且在整个食品储藏室客户群体中，月末最高。进一步的分析考虑了科罗拉多州SNAP分配时间表，检查了这些月度周期，结果表明，当SNAP收益用尽时，食品储藏室的探访次数会增加。
