Nearly 850,000 people receive food benefits in Missouri and Kansas.
For every meal provided by a food bank, SNAP provides nine. Most of those are consumed by children, elderly people or people with a disability.

Food banks in the central U.S. say they can’t fill the gap left by frozen SNAP benefits
