Starting November 1, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in Missouri and Kansas will not be dispensed. Families are being pushed into food insecurity by circumstances completely outside their control.
In Missouri and Kansas alone, over 800,000 people will not receive SNAP benefits, including families within our CSLKC family.
We are offering resources for those in our community who need assistance with food insecurity due to SNAP benefits stopping or from the government shut down.
