Gov. Patrick Morrisey on Tuesday challenged West Virginia citizens to donate money to a new fund — which the state will match to the tune of up to $13 million — to buy and distribute food to food banks and pantries across the state as federal SNAP benefits (commonly known as food stamps) are set to expire on Saturday as the federal government remains shut down.

Morrisey also said he would call up to 200 West Virginia National Guard personnel to active duty to aid in the distribution of the food. News
