food insecurity

Now that the federal government shutdown is over, Kentucky is working to issue full SNAP benefits to the 600,000 residents who receive food assistance.

The disruption in food assistance due to the government shutdown has communities banding together to feed their neighbors. Even as the longest shutdown in U.S. history has come to an end, food banks and other non-profits say they expect demand to continue in the coming weeks and throughout the holiday season as the low-income get back on their feet.

Gov. Andy Beshear has declared a state of emergency and pledged state funds to support Kentucky food banks.

A new 12,000-square-foot facility in Bowling Green will store food resources to be distributed to partner agencies in local counties such as Allen, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Logan, Simpson, and Warren.
