河本德粮食银行寻求145 000美元的捐助,以便在联邦SNAP不确定的情况下释放相应的州基金。 The River Bend Food Bank seeks $145,000 in donations to unlock matching state funds amid federal SNAP uncertainty.

爱荷华州达文波特的河本德食品银行(River Bend Food Bank)正在紧急寻求145 000美元的现金捐款,以释放145 418美元的州配对资金,这是金·雷诺兹州长在联邦国家营养计划福利不确定的情况下支持粮食银行的倡议的一部分。 The River Bend Food Bank in Davenport, Iowa, is urgently seeking $145,000 in cash donations to unlock up to $145,418 in state matching funds, part of Governor Kim Reynolds’ initiative to support food banks amid uncertainty over federal SNAP benefits. 如果SNAP资金继续停滞, 州的配对计划将与现金捐款相匹配, The state’s matching program, activated due to a federal shutdown, will match cash donations up to $1 million if SNAP funding remains halted. 捐助必须从11月3日开始,只用于购买食物,在月底前分发供应品。 Donations must be made starting November 3 and used solely for food purchases, with supplies to be distributed by month’s end. 粮食银行说,由于经济压力,需求激增,现金捐助比粮食活动效率更高。 The food bank says demand has surged due to economic pressures, and cash donations are more efficient than food drives. 美国农业部已开始使用应急基金发放11月部分的SNAP福利,但只有在联邦援助没有完全恢复的情况下,国家才能提供匹配。 The U.S. Department of Agriculture has begun issuing partial November SNAP benefits using a contingency fund, but the state match remains available only if federal aid is not fully restored. 捐款可以通过食品银行的网站进行。 Donations can be made via the food bank’s website.
