Beginning November 1, the federal government shutdown will halt SNAP benefits, leaving thousands of mid-Missouri families facing immediate food insecurity. In response, leaders from Boone County, City of Columbia, Community Foundation of Central Missouri, Heart of Missouri United Way, and Veterans United Foundation have reactivated CoMoHelps—a centralized emergency relief portal—to coordinate funding and support for those impacted.
