Public commenter urges support for food banks as SNAP recipients "will be impacted" this weekend
An unnamed resident who spoke during the meeting's public comment period urged community support for local food banks and pantries, saying, "There are folks all among us who are SNAP recipients who are gonna be impacted this weekend."

The speaker said the first step for people who can help is to "support our local food banks, food pantries and community organizations who feed people every single day," and added that those groups are "expecting a big surge in demand."

The resident also said they were heartened by "the turnout in recent days" and again encouraged people to "visit your local food pantry, contact them, and see what you can do."

The transcript does not specify which SNAP benefits or what exact disruption is expected, nor does it provide estimates of how many people will be affected or which local organizations will face the largest increases in demand. The comments were delivered as public input rather than a formal report from an agency or official.
