We could be two days away from 40 million Americans and close to 600,000 Kentuckians losing their Snap benefits.

The program is better known as food Stamps and Wolf County.

31% of people are on snap.

Nikki Stacey, founder of the Hazel Green Food Project in Wolf County, is asking Governor Andy Beshear to call a special session to deal with this crisis.

This was her plea on Facebook.

What we need you all to do is we need you to call your governor's office.

This is this is how we're going.

This is the only way we can solve this.

If the governor calls a special session, gets our people or our state representatives, our senators back in Frankfort, they can call a special session, declares state of emergency for Kentucky, just like all the other states have followed suit.

We have Virginia that's already done that and a couple of others.

And this is what Kentucky needs.

Some state lawmakers are also calling for a special session.

The governor was asked about that today.

We're looking at our options right now, and I think a number of options are on the table.

I'm not sure a special session would be necessary.

Just what we can't do, though, is we can't use the existing platform of Snap and simply put, state dollars through it.

We've got some very clear instruction from the federal government that that is not allowed.

And so what that means is any additional help that we may be able to provide certainly aren't going to be perfect and certainly won't make up for this this fall.

Head.
