MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct 30, 2025 – The City of Memphis is coordinating with Shelby County Government, United Way of the Mid South, Mid South Food Bank, Community Foundation of Greater Memphis, and a coalition of local food service providers, faith partners, and nonprofit organizations convened by Mayor Paul Young to prepare for potential impacts related to changes in SNAP benefits.
This united effort is focused on ensuring no family in Memphis is left without access to healthy and reliable food. Partners are mapping resources, expanding pantry capacity, and exploring extended service hours to support working families who may face challenges visiting daytime food distribution sites.
Mayor Young said the goal is simple and urgent. “We will stand together as a community and make sure every Memphian has access to food and dignity. Memphis has always shown up for one another. This moment will be no different.”
