Staff says SNAP situation 'very fluid' amid shutdown; supervisor reports local pantries stocked
Summary
A staff member identified as Shannon told the board that SNAP benefits were 'very fluid' amid a federal shutdown; a supervisor reported three food pantries north of Caledonia are being stocked every day.
Shannon provided an update to the board saying the situation for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits was "very fluid," and referenced the federal government shutdown as a complicating factor. "I just wanted to bring up the scene on snap, very fluid. Last night, you know, as this morning, the federal shutdown probably," Shannon said during the staff update.
Following that update, an unidentified supervisor reported on local food assistance operations, saying three food pantries north of Caledonia "are stocked every day." The supervisor said community awareness and response had been strong and that pantries were meeting demand in that area.
