Food Pantries in Butler and Sedgwick Counties

     

Overview of Food Insecurity in Kansas

In Kansas, approximately 186,000 to 188,000 individuals receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, which represents about 6% to 6.3% of the state’s population. This data comes from an analysis conducted by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities using information from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. As of November 1, nearly 90,000 to 94,000 households in the state may face food insecurity. To address this issue, 12 News has compiled a list of food resources available for families in need in Sedgwick and Butler counties.
