The Trump Administration said Monday that it will send partial payments this month to families who rely on SNAP benefits to ensure they have enough food.

In Seminole County, more than 42,000 people who depend on these resources are now wondering how quickly the benefits that disappeared on Nov. 1 will come back and if there will be enough help elsewhere for them to get by with a temporary fix.

Monday, our News 6 team visited The Sharing Center in Longwood to see how quickly the largest free food pantry in Seminole County is clearing out.

“As fast as it comes in, it’s going out,” pantry manager Leroy Johnson said as he showed us the donations.

Johnson said last week the shelves were empty. On Monday they were about halfway full after the community stepped up with donations, but they still need more food.

“We pass out food every single day, Monday through Friday,” said Johnson. “If we have people come in on the weekends, we do have what we call an emergency bag that we’ll give out at the thrift store.

Monday morning, CEO & President Tekoa Pouerie said 52 people had already come in the door in the first hour that they opened. Typically, they serve about 35 families a day on average but said they now have days where more than 80 stop by to pick up food.

“We have a lot of families come in because they are worried about being able to put food on their table,” said Pouerie.

Pouerie said they are also seeing many people who have never needed assistance before coming in and asking for help.

“Veterans, college students, the elderly those that are disabled,” said Pouerie. “We’re also receiving for the first time employees that have been furloughed. This morning, we had a TSA agent that came to ask for help.”

The Sharing Center says the demand has created a minimum $75,000 fund gap in funding to meet the increased need.

“These are people who are working,” said Pouerie. “But it’s not meeting the need because we’re seeing the rise in rent costs, we’re seeing the rise in grocery costs. And so, they’re doing their part but it’s not enough to make ends meet.”

Pourie became the CEO & president of The Sharing Center this year and said she has seen a real need to help young people in Seminole County.

“On any given day we serve so many individuals, but those individuals come for help because they have their children that need it the most,” said Pouerie. “I really want the community to know we’re not just helping adults; we’re helping children. And that’s how you truly end cycles, by helping the next generation to understand how to financially manage resources, how to reach out for help, what it’s going to take.”

The Sharing Center is asking for the community’s help to keep the food pantry stocked with the most needed items:

• Rice 
• Beans 
• Ravioli (pop top)
• Pasta and pasta sauce
• Tuna and other canned meats
• Macaroni and cheese
• Peanut butter and jelly
• Canned vegetables
• Cereal 
• Shelf stable milk

Donations can be dropped of Monday through Saturday 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Financial support is also critical. You can learn more at The Sharing Center’s website here.
