Hardship to Hope Food Relief Application

Metro United Way launched of the “Hardship to Hope Food Relief Fund” that will pay Kroger gift cards of varying amounts directly to SNAP recipients that have at least one child under 18 in the home or an elderly individual.

Applications for Jefferson County open Monday, November 3. SNAP Households with children or seniors who expected to receive their SNAP benefits November 1 to 7 are eligible to apply.

We are working with agencies in the remainder of Metro United Way’s service area to meet the needs of our neighbors in every county. Applications for Oldham, Shelby, and Bullitt County residents in Kentucky and Clark, Floyd, and Harrison County residents in Indiana should be available by Friday November 7.
