10,000 People Seeking Help at Cocoa Expo

Since Saturday, applicants lined up at 7am for sign-ups through the Food for Florida Disaster Food Assistance Program, which provides food benefits to people affected by disasters.  By 4:10 p.m. Sunday, staff had processed 7,447 applications.  Applications will be taken from 7am to 6pm at the Cocoa Expo site through Wednesday. To qualify for D-SNAP (Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), individuals not already receiving food benefits must have lived or worked in one of Florida’s 48 counties approved for disaster relief.  Dial 2-1-1 to speak to a specialist about community resources.
