CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WBOY) — West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey has announced the activation of the West Virginia National Guard (WVNG) to support food relief efforts amid the government shutdown.
According to a press release from the WVNG, it will be “assisting communities with logistical and personnel support at local food banks and pantries across the state to mitigate the impact of SNAP benefit suspension due to a lapse in federal appropriation on vulnerable populations.”
Morrisey has authorized the activation of 200 or more service members, whose assistance may include receiving, sorting, packaging and distributing food, managing traffic and crowds, transportation and storage assistance and making sure food distributions remain orderly.
“We stand ready to support our state partner agencies, local food banks and non-profit organizations with critical logistical support to keep food on the table for West Virginia families,” WVNG Adjutant General Maj. Gen. Jim Seward said.
Friday marks 31 days since the government shutdown began.
