Due to the lapse in appropriations at the federal level that has gone on for a prolonged period of time, FoodShare (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits for November will be delayed.  This will affect many people in Brown County who receive these benefits including children, families, people with disabilities, the aging population, and many others.
