Maxwell Frost Urges State to Provide Stopgap SNAP Funding
Democratic U.S. Representative Maxwell Frost is calling on Florida to offer a stopgap solution to prevent the withholding of funding for 3 million Floridians relying on federal food assistance.
A potential government shutdown in November could halt funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), affecting millions of recipients in Florida.
“Floridians are already dealing with worsening unemployment and soaring grocery prices. Food banks in Central Florida have already been reporting a record number of neighbors in need and strained resources,”
Frost sent a letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis and Senate President Ben Albritton, urging them to address the issue.
