On Monday, United Against Poverty of Indian River County handed out vouchers for the Member Share Grocery Program for those impacted by the loss of SNAP benefits.

The grocery store sells products for about one-third the price compared to other stores.

Jane McNulty Snead, Development Director of UAP IRC, said the vouchers total 30 percent of the benefits families would’ve gotten for the month of November.
