Food Stamp Program Affected By Government Shutdown

Attention food stamp recipients! Make sure you use that money wisely. Missouri’s Division of Social Services says due to the partial government shutdown, you’ll get your February Food Stamp benefit later this month, but you will not get a Food Stamp benefit in February, so spend wisely to make sure it lasts both months. Officials say they don’t know if the Food Stamp program will be available in future months while the government is shutdown, but if you need more help, you can reach out to your local food bank , like Crosslines Ministries.
