Food bank awaits fallout from shutdown

2/13/2019

 
    In January, the federal supplemental food assistance program SNAP, commonly known as food stamps, made a double payment.
    Meant to offset the effects of the partial federal government shutdown, the second payment came nearly a month early for families who receive the benefit.
    That has meant some families will go six weeks or longer without new support.
    Nationwide, that has put an additional burden on food banks. So far, that effect has not reached the Solanco Food Bank.

Solanco Neighborhood Ministries clients must help pay for their fuel

11/24/2013

 
Picture
    Families who need emergency help buying heating fuel this winter will be expected to help pay for the assistance.
    In the past, Solanco Neighborhood Ministries has paid for a minimum fuel delivery for people who need emergency help.
    The rising cost of home heating fuel and the increased demand for assistance has led the agency to change that program for the coming heating season. It will offer matching grants this winter rather than paying the entire cost of a minimum fuel delivery.

Picture
    Spectators are accustomed to people handing out bags of chips, bottles of water, and other items from floats and commercial entries in the annual Solanco Fair parade.
    This year, Solanco Neighborhood Ministries wants to reverse the process.
    "We're asking for people to pay it forward," said board member Marlin Nafziger. "We're asking them to give, not to get."
    Members of the ministry want spectators to bring canned and other nonperishable food items to donate to the Solanco Food Bank, one of the nonprofit's outreach programs.
