Nevada approves $30M contingency funds for food banks amid federal SNAP lapse
Nevada Allocates $30 Million for Food Banks Amidst Government ShutdownIn response to the ongoing government shutdown, Nevada state leaders have approved $30 million in emergency funding for food banks, with the funds going to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada and Three Square. This decision comes as nearly 500,000 Nevadans are at risk of losing their SNAP benefits in November. The funds will help support those in need, especially in Southern Nevada where demand for food assistance has surged by 16% over the last four months. Meanwhile, Nevada's Attorney General's office has joined a lawsuit with over 20 other states to push the federal government to restore SNAP funding.
