Want to support your neighbors during this time?
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will likely be delayed as the federal government shutdown continues. In Wisconsin, SNAP is known as FoodShare. This delay may leave families and individuals without critical food assistance. If you are not affected by this delay in food benefits and want to help out, this page is for you.
If you or someone you know is affected, you are not alone. You can find resources and information at these locations:
