Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced that the State of Michigan will provide $4.5 million to the Food Bank Council of Michigan to feed families amid the federal government’s decision to pause SNAP benefits starting November 1. The funding will help feed Michiganders in all 83 counties and provide food delivery to those who can’t drive to their local food bank. The state is also aligning philanthropic support to help assist families impacted by the disruption of SNAP benefits. Please share with your networks and lift up the additional resources:
SNAP participants should reach out to their local MDHHS office with any questions regarding their federal SNAP benefits or check MI Bridges for updates.
