Public urges donations as federal food benefits lapse could affect 19,000 Utah County residents
A member of the public used the public-comment period Oct. 29 to warn commissioners that a federal lapse could cause Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to expire for local households.

The commenter said that, because of the federal situation, "we anticipate 19,000 Utah County residents will have $0 on their card come Saturday." The speaker urged listeners to donate money, food or time to local food banks, Community Action and related pantries.

Commissioners and staff acknowledged the concern and earlier in the meeting had highlighted Community Action’s warming-center work and volunteer needs. No commission action was taken during the public-comment item; speakers used the comment period to alert the commission and public to imminent community needs.
