In the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, there’s a critical lifeline now available for those hit hardest by the storms. The Department of Children and Families (DCF) is stepping up to offer a Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP), aiming to aid individuals and families who currently do not receive food assistance through the regular SNAP benefits. The window for this assistance is brief, with online pre-registration available from today, through Friday, according to the Charlotte County website.
