'A reason to be fearful' | As families face SNAP loss, one organization says 'Dinner's on Us'

CINCINNATI — As concerns mount over potential cuts to federal nutrition programs, a Cincinnati organization is launching a weekly food distribution initiative to help families in need.

Forever Kings Inc., founded by Jordan Bankston, began its "Dinners on Us" program Wednesday and plans to continue every Wednesday through November.

The initiative is in response to concerns that thousands of Ohio families will soon have no access to SNAP and WIC benefits due to the ongoing federal shutdown.

"When you factor in SNAP benefits being cut and potentially WIC being cut after November, all that is making it incredibly challenging for people to live every day," Bankston said.
