In Blount County, over 8,000 individuals (more than 4,000 households) are dependent on SNAP benefits for food. The current government shutdown and Governor Lee's inaction means that our neighbors could go hungry this month. But we're not going to let that happen. Join the Blount County Democratic Party in stepping up for our neighbors and making sure that no one, regardless of political affiliation, will go hungry in Blount County because of Republicans' inaction on healthcare and vital services.
