More than 200 thousand households in Wisconsin are getting more help with their groceries because of Governor Evers’ latest coronavirus order.
The state’s Department of Health Services says the governor’s order from last month restarts the program that expands FoodShare benefits across the state. There is no word on just how many people will get expanded benefits, or just how much they will get. DHS’s Julie Willems Van Dijk says benefits for July should have appeared on people’s FoodShare cards over the weekend.
Benefits for August will appear in two weeks. A family of four in Wisconsin can usually get almost 650 dollars a month for groceries under the FoodShare program.
