Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
  • On May 24, 2019, FNS approved the Missouri Department of Social Services’ request to waive timely reporting of food loss for households in the State of Missouri. This waiver approval will allow affected households throughout the State to make a request for replacement of SNAP benefits through June 24, 2019. These replacement SNAP benefits will allow households to replace food lost due to power outages from statewide flooding, tornadoes, and severe weather that began on May 22, 2019.
USDA Foods
  • Red Cross, in collaboration with Jefferson City Public Schools, has set up a congregate feeding site at the Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Jefferson City to feed those impacted by the tornado. USDA Foods are being used under the supervision of the district’s food service director.
