Gov. Patrick Morrisey said Tuesday the state has distributed more than half of the roughly $14.1 million he has committed to support the state’s food banks during the ongoing federal government shutdown, which has delayed SNAP for residents.

Food pantries and feeding programs across the state are responding to increased need after SNAP was delayed for around 275,000 West Virginians. kAm|@CC:D6J[ H9@ 42==65 E96 }2E:@?2= vF2C5 E@ 2DD:DE H:E9 DE2E6H:56 7@@5 5:DEC:3FE:@?[ D2:5 96 36=:6G6D E96 DE2E6 :D >66E:?8 E96 ?665 2E E9:D E:>6 3FE :E H@?’E 36 23=6 E@ 4@?E:?F6 E96D6 677@CED =@?8\E6C> 2D E96 D9FE5@H? 4@?E:?F6D]k^Am kAm%96 8@G6C?@C D2:5 96 92D D6?E 2C@F?5 Sg >:==:@?
