This week, Kokomo Lantern Publisher Patrick Munsey talks with Taylor School Corp. Superintendent Steve Dishon about the school's upcoming coat drive and Community Thanksgiving Dinner. And then the conversation turns to the impending food crisis that is expected to accompany the suspension of $1.9 million in SNAP benefits to Howard County recipients. They are joined by Bethany Wenger, Public Health Projects Director for the Howard County Health Department, and Derick Steele, executive director of the Kokomo Housing Authority. The two are spearheading the organizational effort to ensure meals for those in need starting in November.

If there is one episode of The Lamp you ever view, please make it this one as the community will need your help. And for those in need, vital information about where food will be available is shared. Keep up to date on this important issue by following the Kokomo Lantern, as we are committed to bringing you new information as it develops.
