Food Stamps

Current month food stamp recipients can request replacement stamps due to food lost during the power outage, according to officials with the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services.  Clients have until Tuesday, Sept. 23 to request replacement stamps.

Clients can go to the L&N Building at 908 West Broadway or to any Neighborhood Place office from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Clients must sign a statement that they lost food during a power outage and are requesting replacement funds, state officials said.

Elderly and handicapped clients may contact their food stamp workers by phone to have an affidavit sent to them to sign and return.

The requests will be processed as they are received. Once approved, replacement benefits will be added to the client’s EBT card.

All area homeless shelters have power thanks to Human Services White Flag Funds used to purchase generators.

Hot meals are served daily at Wayside Christian Mission, 432 East Jefferson, at the following times:
