SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- At a special meeting Wednesday night, the Schenectady County Legislature approved a request to add funding to the county's budget to supplement their efforts to fill the gap left by the delay in SNAP funding.

The county will use $150,000 to provide food to people who rely on SNAP benefits in the county.

The Trump administration announced Monday that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, would be partially funded in November following two judges’ orders to use an emergency fund to keep aid flowing. Benefits could still take weeks or even months to reach people, officials warn.

A food pantry drive-thru will take place at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Schenectady County Community College. All vehicles must enter through the Gateway Bridge entrances.
