EMERGENCY PLAN
An emergency plan has been drafted based on the critical need to address the anticipated surge in demand due to the suspension of SNAP benefits starting November 1st, coupled with the disruption of The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), due to the federal government shutdown.
