The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) got a letter from the federal government saying that November food benefits (FNS) might be delayed or changed if the government shutdown continues.
Right now, we don’t know exactly what will happen, but it could mean your benefits come later than usual or the amount might be different.
We know these benefits are very important to you and your family. We will share updates as soon as we get more information.
To learn more, visit www.ncdhhs.gov/fns.
Please know that Cherokee County DSS remains deeply committed to supporting our community during this difficult time. Below you will find a list of food banks, community meal sites, and emergency assistance programs available throughout the county.
