MIDDLETOWN, N.Y.—City of Middletown mayor Joseph DeStefano announced on Oct. 27 that the city will be reallocating $10,000 in already received federal funds to provide emergency relief for families receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
The federal shutdown has continued through much of October, and unless Congress reaches an agreement before the beginning of November, SNAP benefits will lose their funding at that time.
