Missouri Governor Allocates Funds for Food Programs Amid Federal Shutdown
Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe announced that the state will spend over $15 million to support food programs due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.
The state plans to allocate $10.6 million to the Missouri Area Agencies on Aging, which will provide meals for seniors, and $5 million to state food banks from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families fund.
The programs "will be critical" in giving meals to seniors.
- $10.6 million will come from the Senior Services Growth and Development Fund.
- $5 million will be allocated from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families fund.
The move is in response to the federal shutdown, which will leave hundreds of thousands of Missourians without monthly benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in November.
