Public commenter asks for updates on 'snack' EBT program and food‑pantry listings
Summary
A public commenter thanked the board for fiscal stewardship and asked whether the county has updates on the snack EBT program; the chair said more information should be available soon and noted an updated county list of food banks.
A member of the public thanked the board for balancing the budget and asked specifically: “Is there any updates on the snack food stamp program?” The commenter wanted to know how county actions or state decisions might affect local pantry services and whether overflow locations such as a Meskwaki church site were included on official lists.
Chair (S9) replied that more information should be available after the immediate election timing and pointed to an updated list maintained by Laurie Johnson that catalogs food banks and satellite pantries in Tama County. The chair and staff discussed publishing the list and noted private, small community 'little food pantries' also exist in multiple locations.
